Default Leaking into heater box.

I have a friend that has an 02 water leaking into the heater box then into the floor. Has anyone had this problem and how did you solve it?

Blocked udder most likely.
Clear it ASAP.
Lift car, look for tube from air conditioner evaporator, clear debry from tube, enjoy the car...
It'll drip directly onto/into the Body Control Module (body computer $1000 +-) if not fixed.
