Default Water Under 1995 Vette?

This is my second spring owning my 1995 Torch Red Automatic. It has just turned 27,000 and I LOVE THIS CAR.
2 Questions:
1)Last year, when it was humid outside and I was running the Air Conditioning, I would notice substantial water in the footwells on the passenger side. Anyone else have this issue?
2) Yesterday, I drove my vette and when I parked it, it was dripping water just under the passenger side onto my garage floor. It was water, it did seem to be any other fluid.
Thoughts?????

1) Sounds like the condensate drain tube from the evaporator box is blocked.

2) Check all of the drain tubes for blockages, especially the one for the cowl vent box on the passenger's side. Was the A/C running while you were driving?

Live well,

Default A/C Water

When I've seen water in a vehicle as a result of running the A/C, it's usually been the drain line is plugged.

If you get under the car and look up at the bottom of the evaporator housing you should see a hole about 1/2" in diameter. If that hole is blocked the condensation from the evaporator will go inside the car.

Thanks for the help. I am new at working on my corvette, but I am excited to do so. I have opened the hood to get at the drain tubes. Is this something I get at from up top or do I need to get under the car. Most of my cars I can get underneath- not happening on this car.
