l337 if your leak only happens after running the AC, water is cold and it's lower - make sure the condensate drain isn't clogged.

Correct. There is a drain line that lets the car a/c drain onto the ground. If it is open, the car pees (drains) onto the ground. If it is blocked, it pees into the car. The moisture is a byproduct of the a/c's function.

You need to take compressed air with an air chuck and blow up that drain tube under the car. This will push the clog back up into the box and allow all the water to run out and it will unclog itself. Do not be afraid to shoot air into the tube you are not going to hurt anything and I promise this will fix your problem. Also, once you blow air up the tube watch out alot of water is going to come out onto the ground.
