Whenever I run the a/c there is water leaking into my front interior of my car. It soaks the carpets. This only happens when the a/c is run. When the heater is used there are no leaks. I recently had an intake manifold gasket replaced and that is when the problem began. I don't know if there is a drainage hose for the a/c that wasn't hooked up or just a coincidence.

Hi mannaz48. Welcome to the forum. Look for the rubber drain hose on the passenger side of the firewall, under the hood. It's about 4" long with a 90 degree bend in it so it will hang down. Squeeze it to dislodge any debris. If it doesn't start to drain, squeeze the wire retaining ring and pull the hose off, then poke a pencil into the plastic tube coming from the firewall to dislodge the blockage.
