Default AC Causing Massive water leak in car.

So, girlfriends 98 civic ex is leaking crazy water on the passenger side floor and even started to leak on drivers side. It is only when the AC is running it does this. I searched a few things but didnt come up with a solid answer.

It seams the ac coolant leaked out too, the is not that cold anymore. we Just refilled it 2 months ago, then about a month ago it leaked all the water, now its warm AC.


Any in expensive suggestions would be great

The A/C drain hose on the evaporator is probably clogged with gunk, causing water condensation to spill out of the evaporator.

The hose attaches to the front bottom of the evaporator behind the glove box and drains at the bottom of the firewall below the battery.

Seconded on the clogged evaporator drain being the culprit for the water inside the cabin.

As far as the warm air blowing, you may have a leak somewhere or a bad component in the system. I'd say to take it to get diagnosed, although most places charge $50-$70 just for a diagnosis.
