water trickle noise 'n' wet floor

On the way to dinner I hear this water trickling noise thought it was weird but wasn't sure where it came from. Take a turn and girlfriend tells me it peed on her. Dark out and can't see where it is coming from exactly. Water was not warm and floor is soaked. Got worse when heater turned to higher temp. Any ideas?

Could be the A/C drain hose is clogged and the water is coming out from under the dash.

Could be the heater core is leaking ...... does it smell like anti-freeze .. ??

Was it raining outside when this happened .. ??

Yes this is real life.....Got some time and a good light after dinner, looked into it. It is definitely the a.c. drain line clogged somehow. I pulled the drain hose and if I blow into it I can hear the bubbles inside the housing. However if I suck on the hose I can't get anything. It is deep, if I turn the blower on high I can hear the water getting picked up by it. Im just out of warranty so ill see if I can convince them to fix it since it looks like a pita to disassemble that shit.

Theyre just gonna take an air nozzle and blow into the drain to clear the clog.

Pull up the passenger side carpet from the front, you can trace it.



*pro-tip it's that black line in the center running vertically

IT IS the A/C Drain Hose; either its clogged or became disconnected someone. Same problem happened with me and the dealer fixed it under warranty
