If you jack the car up or throw it up on a hoist the drain is directly above the transmission. (you'll see a rubber hose sticking through the floor) The generally clogged up with lint etc so a thin piece of wire or plastic packing strap is usually okay unclog them. If it's leaking in the cabin and the drain is still working it's a dash out job to replace the foam seal on the evaporator box. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leaks on especially hot days when the ac is set to max..... But water is still coming out of the drain. My theory is the dash has been out and hvac apart for a mixer shaft and the seal wasn't installed properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not blocked, but I checked my ac filter, its was quite dirty and hence restricted. I was hoping the reduced airflow from the blocked filter was causing the evaporator to ice up under high load and hence the leak but after cleaning it I still have the same issue.Looks like my dash is coming apart...
