It's just water, but it is A LOT, soaks right through the mat & the carpet underneath within minutes.

Thanks so much for all the helpful replies. I'm starting to think it's the drain tube being blocked with perhaps pine needles if they could get in there. We had a huge storm while we were out of town & the car was in the driveway, when we got back stuff was all over the place & That's when it started happening.

More than likely it is coming from the evaporator drain tube. It could be clogged w/ debris allowing water from the evaporator to build up and when you turn, tip over and slosh out. It also possible that water is coming out of the drain tube, but running on the belly of the drain tube and back into the vehicle. In that case a sealant needs to be put around the tube were it comes through the dash into the engine compartment, but more than likely it's just debris and if you can get to the tube, located on the pass. side engine compartment, you could take a coat hanger and pushing 2-4 inches in clean out the tube.

Is it just water, or is it a water and cooler mixture. Anyways, it is most likely your heater core. Since it is summer, you can jut by pass it for now..... get some fittings to tie the 2 hoses together and you are golden.

How much is coming out? If it is just a small drip then it's just moisture from your a/c don't worry at all. Easy way to check: if your radiator level is low you know it's leaking!

It's more than likely it's your heater core unless you've been driving in deep water lately!
