That sound about right about the ac drain. remove the carpet from the passenger side and see if its coming from the firewall or from a hose, it may just be a loose clamp and an easy fix.

Yep it's the drain. I had this same problem about 2 months ago. Here's a write up to fix it >> https://montecarloforum.com/forum/fi...equired-21645/

While it looks similar, doesn't the 6th Gen have the A/C drain closer to the bottom of the car? Mine has a (roughly) 12" hose on the passenger side that goes from an area near one of the floor vents to the floor and coming out under the car near the cat. converter.. I think that's the A/C drain. The 5th Gen looks like it comes out of the firewall directly behind the engine.

If that's the case, I would think that the hose would come off easily so that it could be unplugged..
