Default '08 Galant water leaking on passenger side floor

I just discovered yesterday water leaking on passenger side floor of my car. It's coming from behind the dashboard. Also everytime I made a left turn it sounded as of water was hitting something hot or a fan. AC was still working fine and now no air is blowing out at all; not even hot air!! Has anyone experienced this problem and have any idea what's goin on or the fix? I have read about several other model of cars and it being condensation drain pipe or something...

Have discovered that after I turned the AC off for an hr and turned it back on it is back to running at full capacity but still having same leaking problem described before.

Sounds to me like you have a bad leaking heater core..
I had this problem on my 2002 Galant 2.4L, there was coolant water
on the passengers carpet.

It's probably the evaporator drain is clogged. The same thing happened to my Galant. You have to find the end underneath the car and unclog it with something. Or take it to the dealership and they should fix it for a small price.

Yes evaporator drain is most likely. You can access it from underneath the car look along the firewall.
