Default air conditioning leaks!!!

i have an 02 grand cherokee and the a.c. leaks water by the passenger side foot area, it kinda floods the very upper right side with about a cup of water every couple of hrs use. Any ideas?

Your drain could be plugged up with garbage you got to get access to the evaporator and find the drain that is supposed to let the water to the outside of your Jeep and clean it out

I recently discovered a strange leak - standing in front of the Jeep it seems to be from the right hand side under the radiator. It looks like thin brake fluid, but all fluids are okay. Could it be aircon related

You have a power steering leak.

I'll check it out tomorrow, I have a bottle of stuff that is supposed to stop power steering leaks, so I'll pour some in

I have a tool box full of tools to fix power steering leaks. No such thing as a mechanic in a bottle. Only a temporary fix.

Some jeeps have a cooling fan driven by the power steering pump. The leak could be coming from that.
