Default anyone have a major leak in the car from ac?

My buddys lude and my lude both have this repetative wet spot on the passenger side of the floor when the ac or heat is on. It just wont go away.

So My buddy gets ansy and pulled the carpet out of his and threw it away.

Today we get to looking at it and the peice that looks like it comes from the engine bay into a black box of some sort , (next to the fan) is just leaking perfusively.

My question is what the hell is it and how hard is it to fix? It looks like a pain in the ***. And we all know I dont need any more *** pain.

Thanks

you know when you use your ac?
it does still work
but when you use a/c...there is water that is supposed to leak outside of the car....that hose is clogged and its not making it outside the car and its dripping inside your car instead....thats why....=D
makes sense?

the AC doesnt actually produce water, its condensation that leaves puddles on the ground under your car. Yes it is supposed to drain, and it will leave a puddle and nice moldy smell. Check you drainage lines on that bad boy.
