Default Water Leaks from Under the Glove Box....HELP!!!

Hey yall I need a bit of your help here. Every time I drive my 01 GSR and make a left turn I hear a hissing sound coming from the bottom right kick panel on passenger side, and then water shoots out and just continues to drip onto my carpet..... It happens if the AC is running or not, but it only happens when I make a sharp left turn. I tried to find the source when I am parked but i cannot find a leak or anything. Please any help that you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

my guess would be that it would have to be coming from your heater core. that is the only thing with fluid in it going through the fire wall. are you losing anti freeze at all?

if it's coolant, heater core. does it smell like coolant? losing coolant?
if it's water, i know the da integra has issues with the cowl seals. probably something along the same lines with the dc

I would look at the evaporator drain, make sure hose is not "blocked"... #16 http://www.acuraautomotiveparts.org/...s=&view=normal

Your going to have to try and see if you can see exactly where the water is coming from, the fresh air intake, [above blower motor housing is a possible problem, the gasket on top of blower motor assembly may be N/G... just above #3 http://www.acuraautomotiveparts.org/...s=&view=normal
You can drop the blower motor easily to see if there is water damage, if so then the problem is the gasket, or you may have to remove the cowl and check the cowl side of the fresh are intake for damage, this assumes the water is coming from there. 94

My evap drain was broken on an old Integra of mine. Due to the way the AC box is designed, it did seem to leak more when I turned. However, it was very noticable when the AC was on....not so much when it wasn't.

1) Heater Core
2) Evap Drain
3) Cowl
