I have a 1996 Mitsubishi Montero, and on the front passenger side I seem to have a leak. The carpet becomes extremely wet when i run the A/C. I'm unsure as to whether or not it is my drain tube or something else. Any help would be greatly helpfull thanks.

Okay pulled my drain tube off and it was clear, A/C still leaks. Could it be my heater core? I don't know if that would make a difference or not, if anyone knows please help.

Okay the leak is coming from behind a rubber mat type thing underneath the carpet and this grean rubber mat. The only problem is after pulling everything out, I could still not see where the leak was coming from. I looked all over and I think it could be coming from the center. Like right on top of where my transmission and engine connect. Could it be my evaporator like back in there?
