Default water - a/c problem (help)

Does anybody know where the ac hose drain is at? Picture would help too. I keep on getting woter on my passenger side floor board. It not the t tops or the cowl pan. I ran water throught the top throught the cowl pan. I think it might be the ac drain hose but I dont know where it is. Its not all the time it rains its gets wet just sometimes. If anybody have any ideas on the problem or where the a/c hose is please let me know.

AC condensate drain? Should only leak with the AC/defrost on. http://shbox.com/1/a_c_drain.jpg Ours is similar.

It doesnt leak all the time thats the problem. I think its the a/c, I think the a/c gets backed up and then leaks out later when i'm not in the car. Do you have better picture than that.

it is under the passenger side dashboard! there should be a big heater box that heater core is in. or follow the 2 heater core lines that are connected to the waterpump right by the thermostat! for a temparary fix you can bypass those 2 lines

If the water is clear and odorless I'd try carefully sticking something like a pipe cleaner into the AC drain. If it's dexcool leaking then probably the heater core.
