Default Air Conditioner dripping H2O in car....WTF?

I think possibly the AC condensor is going bad. When I run the AC, it's dripping water on the carpet on both the driver and passenger side right by the center console. Anyone else ever experienced this?

I have about 3 weeks of factory warranty left on my car. I also have LT headers, K&N FIPK Gen II, etc, etc. I'm thiking I'll have a fight to get ANYTHING fixed under warranty with the mods.

Any input would be nice.

Sounds like the evaporator drain is plugged. Use a blow gun and blow air into the drain hole.That usually unclogs it. Whatever you do, dont stick anything in it, you may puncture the core.

The condensor is not the problem, this one is way up in front of your radiator. It sounds like your evaporator's drain hose. These can get kinked or clogged up.

Jack up the passenger side and look at the bottom of the box, you should see the hose.
