When I run the AC water leaks onto the front passenger floor of the car. From what I've been reading on this site it's most likely (hopefully) just a clogged condensation drain which can be cleared out with an air blower or a wire. But I tried to find the condensation drain on my car last night and couldn't. Can you please let me know where I would find it in (or under) the car and how to recognize it?

Thanks!

On the firewall in the engine compartment, find the duct work that houses the heater core and AC evaporator. (It's the big plastic housing)

look for a little tube, or sometimes a short hose, that doesn't attach to anything. It's just hanging there, looking out of place, and probably pointing down.
That's the drain, get a stick or something (i use a metal coat hanger) and try to remove the debris from the hole.
Try not to simply push it back up in the hole, cause it will eventually find it's way back and clog up again.
