Default Passenger area air conditioning leakage?


I had to rip out my passenger side carpeting a little while ago because it was soaked and covered in mildew/mold. It seems when the AC runs I get a lot of cold water spraying into the passenger side after it has run for a little while. I'm thinking it might be a condensation drain for the AC leaking or overflowing. There's no smell of anti-freeze. Any one else experienced this? Any suggestions how to get at it?

Thanks in advance...

i have also experienced a hissing noise, but no complaints from people riding in my car yet.

would also like to know what would be causing this.

Oh yeah... just in case. 4th gen Si.

I might end up dragging my swiming goggles out and digging under the dash.

Definitely a plugged drain line, when the evoparator cools for a while it develops condensation and the water starts dripping of off it it should usually go off into a little tube and exit out underneath the car. If that line is clogged it will overflow and spill inside the car. If you run the AC and notice no dripping water underneath the car look for a plugged drain line , Hope this helps
