A/C on. Carpet drenched.
Hello folks,
I am trying to track down what bad part/blockage would cause water to dump all over the passenger side carpet after the A/C has been running for 45 minutes or so. I had to mop it up with 4 towels today, and I'm trying to figure what could cause this before it does more damage.
Evaporator? Condenser? Drier? Constipated tube that I can't see?

Thats the evaporator, it vaporizes the liquid refrigerant hence the
evaporator, The condensor condenses the high pressure gas coming from the compressor, it condenses it from gas to liquid..
At any rate , yes the condensate drain is plugged
