A/C drain hose
With the heat today I ran my a/c a lot I noticed some water dripping into the passenger foot well. After about 45min of driving it was a lot of water leaking inside, like it would pour out in a corner.
I found a thread on C3's with the same issue and its the drain hose from the evaporator being clogged.
Anyone experience this with their C5?

Look for the 90 Deg Rubber fitting directly aft of the passengers head.
It looks like this:
Its probably full of crap or a snot like substance. If you pop it off the fitting on the fire wall, condensate should pour out if it is indeed plugged..
MAKE SURE that your BCM is dry or you will have all sorts of crazy electrical issues!!!

I have actually been able to pop it OFF from the top. I used a LONG skinny flat blade screwdriver and worked it off the nipple.
You WILL NOT, be able to put it back ON from the TOP!
You can JUST see it in this photo below and aft of the main wiring harness loom:
