Hello, I hope some one can help me here. I've got a 99 convertible. recently I've noticed water leaking from the blower motor under the dash on the passenger side. I thought it was the drain tube behind the battery, removed battery and checked drain tube, it was clean. I'm assuming the water is coming from the air conditioner some how because it is nice and sunny outside when this happens, and of course the air conditioner is on. Please help me someone.
thanks
RandyS

Check my LEAK CHECK stickey at the top of the C5 Tech section. Your HVAC air bo condensation drain on the fire wall is clogged.

Pictures are in the post.

Thanks for the input before I went back to the garage I noticed leaky.
Having a hard time locating that one. tomorrow night I will put on jack stands and see if I can locate it from under the vehicle.
thanks again.

MAKE SURE that you remove the seat and carpet and dry everything or you will get mildue and bad smells! Ask me how I know!

Make sure your BCM is dry or you dash will go crazy!

I've got the same problem. I will be pulling my passenger seat and carpet this weekend. Time to start looking for the blockage!

I could not find it from on top with hood open, I actually had to Jack it up, put on jack stands, and looked from below. It was still hard to find and I could not even reach it from below. I had to disconnect a electrical connector and remove from frame of car to get my hand high enough to get to the tube, but that was definately the problem.
Good luck
