This is my wifes car, she just told me about this, and it has been going on for a month or so. When the A/C is on water builds up on the inside of it and drips out on the pass. Side up by the fire wall. If you turn left water will fall onto the fan and a make the noise of water hitting a fans while the water drips out below of the fan motor. I know there should be a drainage hose that takes the water to the outside of the car, but I can not find it. I think that hose might be cracked or clogged or just fell off. Would this be my problem or might it be something else? A/C

Yes, use a coat hanger or compressed air to unblock the drain. The location of the drain which is just an open rubber tube end which the water comes out of. #10 in the diagram. Check out the diagrams (below). Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.

Cheers

The drain might be hard to spot as it is right above the frame member and sort of hard to spot unless you look in the right spot.
