Default Interior Water Leak

My car seems to be leaking water from the paasenger side when I accelerate or go around corners. It also sounds like theres rocks or something sliding in the lower dash. A/c related?

Check to make sure the A/C drain hose isn't clogged or crimped. The hose is at the very bottom of the A/C box pointed toward the firewall. Mine got all twisted and crimped by passengers kicking it, so it quit draining. That box can hold a LOT of water, so be carefull not to disconnect the hose, or it will drain onto your floor.

BTW, make sure you fix this quickly before it toasts your A/C blower motor. The "rocks" may actually be the blower motor...

start car or turn it to ON (but not start), doesn't matter. turn up the fan speed. if you feel air coming out of the vents, your blower is fine. only way for anything to get into the blower is through the cabin air filter. check yours, make sure it didn't fall down the hole. its not secured very well. a couple of lousy clips is all that holds it on.
