Default Possible A/C issue...

My vette has been out of commision for a couple of months, and I finaly got to drive it this weekend and noticed that when I take a corner there is this sound on the passenger side glove box area. It sounds like boiling water or something to that extent. It only happens when I am cornering.

I am thinking it has something to do with the air conditioning system, since my son was with me and said that he felt a drop of water on his foot.

Anyone have an idea of what I should be looking for??

Any help would be appreciated.

Your drain is plugged up and you're hearing the sloshing water moving around and even possibly hitting the fan. You need to locate the drain plug and unclog it. Good luck with that though, I'm trying to do the same thing!

This sounds like the same clogged utter problem discussed here last summer. Do a search for AC leaks and you should find the fix.
Good luck.

Mine jsut did the same thing. The dealer said it was the heater core leaking. I bypassed it temporarily until I can confirm this. But unfortunately the water took out the blower module. So I can't run my A/C to see if it still drips or not.
