Default HELP, I'm drowning!

I'm getting water(lots) in the front passenger side foot area. I've tried pouring water over the windows, door jams, windshield, and even on the firewall in the engine compartment but haven't found any leaks. I noticed the same thing last summer, but thought maybeI left the window open on a rainy day or when I was watering my lawn. The water isn't dirty like I drove through a puddle, or soapy fron a car washing. It's almost like from a faucet. The only thing I had done last year from my Dodge dealer was an A/C recharge and an O2 sensor replaced. Is it possible that when I use my A/C I'm getting some kind of condensation forming that usually just dribbles out from under the engine area? Could the dealer have screwed up something when they did the recharge(not that they would admit it).

You folks helped me a few months go with my blower motor resistor problem, so I'm hoping someone might have an idea where the water is coming from.

Thanks

This is where the search function comes in handy. Check to see if it smells like coolant. If it does, then you have a leak in your heater core or the piping linking it to the rest of the cooling system. If it doesn't smell like coolant, then it is the drain line for your A/C. It should run down inside the cab and exit through the firewall. Let us know if you have any problems.

Smells like anti-freeze, it's your heater-core.
