Water in air conditioner, leakin inside, HELP!
I really need your help with this one:
Today we had a hot day, as many before it, 92 fahrenheit. I take my -95 vtec lude out for a drive. I have AC on on full cooling, nothing special there. Cool air coming in and all is good.
BUT THEN
As I've driven for maybe 30 minutes I make a fast hard right turn and with a big splash a great amount of water shoots out of the driverside lower airvent soaking my shoe and drenching the carpet! I stop and take of my shoes and inspect. I'm no specialist so I can't tell why the presumable condensed water have been collected inside the ducting in large amounts and leaking inside me cabin. What can I do but drive back and as I near home I with purpose make a hard right turn, and yet again my foot receives a huge splash of water, ice cold I may add. A sharp left turn make drips fly out of the left vent and a splashing sound is heard so there's still a bit of water in there. I still get cold air from the system but the carpet is SOAKED.
What has happened. I've had the car for years never having any problems with the AC and I had the system serviced and filled up for about two years ago.
Any help is appreciated,
Thanks!

Your drip line for the a/c is clogged. On the passenger side firewall there is a hose for the drip line. Get a air hose, maybe one from the gas station to fill the tires, put it in there and blow the air in it. The air will clear the clog and water will rush out.
Been really busy the last couple of days, but today I got the car up on a lift, located the drip line and gave it a good shot of compressed air. Out came a whole lot of water and seems my problem was cured.
THANK YOU!
