Default Leaking on passenger side floor mat, what's happening?

My brother says for the last few days he has noticed that the passenger side floor mat is getting soaked. The water is cold. We asked a few people and heard it is the A/C weep hole. Has anyone had any experience with this? Thank you.

There is a drain line coming off of the bottom of the A/C box and going to the ground. It is intended to drain condensate from the box (this is why you always see a little puddle of water form under cars in a parking lot), and the hose is plugged with crud. A coat hanger run up through the hose will fix it.

Problem solved! Thanks guys. My brother poked that hole and about a cup of water came out. Looks like a mouse got into his A/C system and died and its rotting corpse was plugging up the hole, backing up all the condensation, and overflowing into the interior of the car.

Default exactly

just for anyone who wants to know the weep hole is on the outside side of the passenger side cat.
