A/C problems

The a/c in my car doesn't seem to be cooling quite like it used to. The wierd thing is that when I switch to pull in air from the outside(vent mode) there is is damn near a waterfall that starts dripping down onto what would be the passenger foot area. It is coming from some place behind the glovebox. This is not a drop or two, this water flow could fill a 6oz. cup in about 45 min to an hour. What gives?

either the evaporator or lines are leaking or the condensation drain is clogged with leaves and junk that so much condensation builds up and finally pours out. the drain is located in the passanger fender well.

I personally havent looked at it myself on the max but its a tube that hangs down up in the passanger fenderwell. try sticking a rod up in it to clear out any blockage. I think that you have a coolant leak somewhere since you stated that its not cold anymore. Possibly a leak somewhere close to the evaporator which is a big headache and expensive fix since its located in the dash
