My 96 Accord's AC is leaking. Whenever i make a turn, there is water than leaks out onto my feet and floormats. Seems like the condensation is leaking inside instead of outside. Anyone know how to diagnose this problem? thanks in advance

I've had this happen on my old 95 twice. The first time it was caused by the downpipe, that empties the water out of the condenser under the car, producing the puddle you get when you park, got clogged by some seed type things that had been sucked in while the trees were seeding and proceeded to clog the pipe. This was a quite expensive repair, as the dealer said the insulation around the condensor had to be replace, along with some other stuff, I don't know if that was truly the case or not, but the AC worked again when we got it back. The second time I had zip-tied the hotwire for my amp to the hose that leads from the compressor to the downpipe, and happens to run above were the passengers feet go. And easy snip and the car took a nice long leak.:D
