Default AC leaking water on passenger floor...

What could be causing this? I imagine it is condensation/water from the ac. Drips on the pass floorboard .

I believe the first step is to make sure the condensate overflow tube on the firewall is not plugged. Located in engine compartment on passenger side firewall on mine, down underneath where the ac lines enter the cabin. It's around 3" long and dumps the condensate onto the frame rail. See if when you run the ac if the condensate is running out of this.

I think I would check to make sure the condensate overflow tube on the firewall is not plugged.

I had a similar problem with mine but I found out it was the fresh air vent under the cowl was leaking into the cab when it rained, even though the drain was clear. Its probably what the others are saying since you didn't mention rain.
