Thumbs up A/C leaking water on floor

Hello, im new this forum and would appreciate any help. Ive searched and couldn't find a solution . im having water drip on my passenger side floor board.im 100% sure it is from the a/c. it seems to be coming from behind the radio area and flowing towards the passenger side then dripping on floor . i seen write ups for the 6th gen but not the 4th . can someone point me in the direction of the drain line ? i cant seem to find it if thats even the issue . has anyone had this problem ? any help would be greatly appreciated and thank you in advanced.

I'm not an expert on the 4th gens, but I can make a guess. If it's just water (not anti-freeze) then there is either a drain that is blocked or a seal that has gone bad.

Many of the pre-90's cars, the evaporator core is housed in a black box, typically on the passenger side under the hood. The evaporator core can sometimes generate condensation that is normally let out through a small drain opening (on modern N and W body cars, that drain is about the size of my pinky).

Now, if it's anti-freeze, you have a heater core failing. And that is found under the dash on most cars old and new.

Hopefully some of our 4th gen Monte members can give some input.

Thanks guys I found it . Theres no hose just a hole directly under the a/c box under the hood . I reached my hand underneath the box and stuck a little plastic thing I found on the floor . Once the clog was removed it drained about a liter of water . . . Problem solved .... thanks again guys I really appreciate it. . .
