Hello,

There is a drain hose that is located on the fire wall on the passenger side (look at the picture below), closer to the bottom of the fire wall.
That hose drains the evaporator.
That drain can be blocked by dirt of debris.
When that happens the condensation from the evaporator will get backed up and drain to the inside of the vehicle.

Simply locate the drain and clean it out to fix the issue.

Pleas let me know of any questions.
Thank you.
