Water Leak..Passenger Side footwell
There is water coming in the passenger side foot well.on my xD it is not coolant.
I figure there is a drain line for the AC condenser.
Ideas?

its most likely the drain line, was just looking at it an hour ago. pull some trim out and the peel back the carpet and liner and take a look. its possible it was pushed or pulled into the compartment. it'll be a black rubber hose strait out from where your passenger's left foot would be.

Voila! All the water drained out on to the ground. I estimated a half gallon. Hope this helps anyone else out there!
Cheers!

My car is an '04 xB, but it still applies. I noticed the same thing. The right side footwell was soaked, and whenever I'd take a right turn, water would pour down on my feet from within the dash. I sought out that hose and pulled it off completely, and yes, MUCH water poured out of the AC unit. I dunno what it was that was clogging the hose, but I blew out a plug of something. I currently have the carpet peeled back with the drain hole plugs removed from the footwell trying to dry everything off. That sound deadening material takes an eternity to dry. So, in closing, thank you for the tip!

You know, it never even occurred to me to look. I bought the car used in December, so it's anybody's guess. My discovery was in the train parking lot last night so I was a little hurried. When I got home I checked the hose in my wife's '06 to be safe, and I've never replaced the filter in that one either. Looks like I will now!

Thanks for your help!
It's been a long time since anyone posted in this thread ... But I wanted to say "Thank you" to those who posted suggested solutions to this water leak problem.
In the past few weeks, I began to notice a "squeaking" apparently coming from the air-conditioner / heat fan in my 2014 xD. Then I noticed water leaking from under the dash board on the passenger side. I figured they might be connected.
So I looked the issue up online and came across this thread. With the AC running, I pulled back the passenger side front carpet and found the black tube, as indicated by a few of you. I pulled the tube from the white plastic reservoir (?) and, at least at that point, no water was leaking yet. I didn't see anything blocking the tube, so I poked a small plastic stick into the white reservoir's connecting hole for the tube, and VOILA! the water started flowing out of the reservoir, presumably along with whatever was blocking the flow previously.
I re-attached the tube and drove the car. No squeaking sound and no leak even after 10 minutes of driving with the AC on.
Problem solved ... Thanks to you guys on this form.
