My car seems to be leaking water onto the floor board of my car. It only happens when I am running my a/c. It is coming from somewhere under the dashboard. Is this an easy fix or should I seek the help of a mechanic?
Could it be a problem with something else?

Answer
look under the vehicle near the bottom of the firewall for a rubber hose about the size of your thumb about 3" long sticking out towards the engine and pointing towards the ground. This is the CONDENSATION DRAIN for the evaporator case to expell any water to the ground that builds up in the evap housing.

Take a plastic soda straw or something SOFT, NOT a screw driver or hard object and poke it up into this drain tube and water will run out up your arm. This hose is clogged and the water is backing up and spilling into the vehicle.
