Idk how to start this one off.... lol

but I was taking on (clockwise) Off-Ramp at a pretty considerable speed....
and I noticed a collection of water dripping onto my gas pedal foot/leg..
It may have been coming from the center console area or through the engine bay into the cabin??


This is perplexing to me... maybe AC related?

Yes. Your AC condensate drain is plugged. Pull up the carpet corner by the left side of the passenger footwell and you will see the drain hose. Have something ready to catch the nasty water and pull it out of the floor, stick a long cable tie up the hose and twist.

If you don't have one, install a cabin air filter.

Yes... it's a clogged AC drain as CTScott said.

I once had the same problem in Ford Probe which also had me perplexed at first

Ah! Yea it's a very weird problem. I was driving around today and it sounded like a sloshing water or trickling water sound. I can't believe this is a common problem and they don't all come with cabin filters. It might explain why my car has had a damp musty smell to it the last few weeks.
