Not again.. footwell leaks
So im back with one of my first issues I ever had with this car. After some rain, I get leaking footwells. However my duckbill is gone and not the culprit. I have found for days and days after a rain, turning a corner to the left makes my right hand footwell get a shower of icey water (indeed far colder than ambient temp so i assume it's been sitting somewhere in the ac system), turning right makes my left hand not leak, but make a gurgling sound in the blower on the left hand passenger side. Im worried especially knowing how much water is actually sitting in there somewhere as everh turn is a pretty full on foot bath. What's my next place to check???

Your a/c drains are blocked.
Best way to clear them is to pull back the carpet along the trans tunnel. You'll see a clear plastic tube about 4" long, suspended between two rubber connectors.
Unfasten the lower one and either connect an air line or a can of compressed air to the plastic hose using some scrap hose. Have a bowl or jug handy when you do this.
After giving a good blast of air up that pipe, the blockage should be cleared out - at least until next time. When you remove the airline/can of air, the trapped water in the blower and evaporator will pour out. Have the bowl ready to catch it or you'll have even wetter footwells!!
