    Hey guys! Here is the deal... I've had this issue since my timing belt, radiator, and water pump were replaced about a month ago. When I turn right at a decent speed I get this sound from under the glove box that sounds like water being poured onto a hot iron. I just noticed a small amount of water dripping onto the passenger side carpet under the glove box. So I took a look. I see two leaks. One on the fire wall side and one from the A/C fan. So I unscrewed the a/c fan and noticed that is where the majority of the water is coming from. It is not a lot of water but I just dont want it turning into a problem later. Any ideas on how to fix this water leak? Thanks guys!

    Sounds like the drain on your evap box is clogged.

    Gently poke a wire hanger in the drain (from the engine side). It should dislodged debris and let a lot of water drain out that is otherwise leaking from your evap box and down into your passenger side footwell

    This is looking down the passenger side firewall in the engine bay. That black nipple with a drop of water on it, is what you're after. Yours might have a little 90* piece of aluminum tubing in it.
