Just like the title says. I was riding shotgun in my gf's '01 SE. Every left turn, maybe even on straight aways, I was getting a semi-often water drip on my foot. It was 90F outside and the AC was on full cold, medium blower.
Did a search, and I'm guessing the drain is probably clogged, and it's backing up and leaking out.
Havn't done much work on this car, so what is hte quickest/easiest way to the problem, I'm probably just gonna jab a wire hanger down the tube and try to clear it up, unless anybody has a better suggestion. Thanks in advance.

Wire coat hanger run up through the drain is the easiest and quickest way. Otherwise you may have to pull the fan out to clean out the debris.

Where is the drain tube located? I have the same problem. 1996 SE. Only leaks when the ac is on.

It is located on the firewall near where the front of the engine would be. It may have a small L shaped tube covering the opening. You will need to jack the vehicle up to get to the drain.
