I recently bought a 1996 Accord that had been sitting for almost 2 years. It had been maticuliously maintained prior to that. I'm in Georgia and it started getting hot 2 months ago so I decided to turn the air on to see if it worked....the compressor and fans cut on so I just recharged it and it has worked great. Now about 3 days ago I was running it in 95 degree weather and a small mist/fog, whatever you want to call it, started blowing out of the dash vents. It has still been cooling, not really cold but cold enough to be somewhat comfortable and I checked for leaks with my cordless leak detector and couldnt seem to find anything, although I believe there is a leak somewhere, I only inspected the lines and all around the top part of the moter. As of yesterday both front floor mats were wet under the dash so I immediately thought, ****!! My heater core went out, I smelled the leak and it was just water....thank god...so now I am thinking I have some sort of condensor line backed up or something (if there is such a thing) because when I stop there is no water leaking under the car it's dripping in my floor boards. I've briefly looked at the Haynes manual and just wanted to see if there was some easy way to fix this without tearing the thing apart, or if anyone can actually tell me what they think it might be so I'm not standing around scratching my head or having to take it to a shop.

 

the evaporator drain tube is probably just clogged up from sitting so long and may have been plugged by insects nesting in it. water has probably filled the evap housing and is leaking into the car instead of draining outside. Look under the hard lines for the evaporator on the firewall and the drain tube should be coming through the firewall from inside the car. you can then go inside under the glove box and disconnect the tube from the evap housing, then clear it with wire or what ever it takes, then run some water through it to flush it out.

 

That's what it was....thanks!

 

that's good to hear.
