    I am in florida and run AC pretty high, There is a significant amount of water dripping in from the left side of the passenger footwell. Seems as if sweat & condensation is accumulating and dripping into passenger footwell (esp when turning left). Seems as if a drain line or something is clogged, Anyone experience this or have any fix suggestions?

    They're both good informational threads, Ian.

    As an added note... I have a 1995 456GT.... I had wetness all down in the carpet in passenger footwell. Pulled out the passenger side of the console to clean the condensate drain and found that I had multiple hairline cracks in the evaporator housing on the passenger side. I sealed those with RTV sealant and have not had a problem since.... so you may want to pull that panel, put in neutral, start engine, run A/C and observe where the condensate is coming from.... I too am in Florida.... Good luck, with perseverance you can track the drips and get dry!

    These days I use a long zip tie to clean the condensation tube.
