Default ac condensation

During my drive home last night with the AC full on, my passenger noticed what seemed to be water and a lot of it, comming out of the passenger side foot well air vent during a sharp lefthand turn. Once I got home I tried to see if I had any pooling water inside the vent it was very damp but there was no sitting water, can anyone tell me where the drain tube for the AC is supposed to be. Pictures would be helpful.

There is a drain under the airbox on the firewall on the passenger side....its a little rubber flap that often gets clogged with leaves-junk and won't drain....a quick clean with the finger typically removes enough junk to get in flowing again!

This is actually leaking in the car directly out of the passenger side air vent for the floor, not to be confussed with the intake vent for the blower. I'm thinking that I might have a blocked condensation tube but im not sure were the tube comes out under the car.

The evaporator box has a pretty large drain hose. It exits the car above the cat converters. If you remove the center console's driver side cover and rubber kick plate, you'll be able to see the tube way up front close to the firewall. It has an arm that comes from the front of the car as well. You might give the drain hose a few squeezes to see if that might open up a blockage. I'm not sure how much crap underneath the car you might have to remove to get at the exit and run something up it, but you probably have to drop the cats and the heat shielding. I haven't had to unblock one before.
