Need help

My foot well on the drivers side fills up with water every time I use the air con. Been told a pipe could be blocked, but where can I find this pipe



If @StephenFord is about I'm sure he knows the answer to the leaking pipes.

I'm unsure if the knowledge I have equates to the issue appearing on use of A/C. I have had a similar leak twice, due to problem with the heater matrix, a common problem. It is caused by the failure of a £4 'O' ring that connects a water supply pipe into the matrix. This is what a permanent repair looks like, disposing of the 'O' ring, cutting an inch off each pipe, and reconnecting with a good quality hose and some strong jubilee clips...

Thanks for the info

Is there anywhere else that could be causing the leak

Is this leak specifically when using air conditioning?  So no leak with AC switched off?

If so, it's mostly likely the drain hose from the evaporator that's leaking plain water into the footwell.

Where would you find the drain hose

It's behind the plastic kick panel.  (LHD pic, but same location)
