Default Water leaking when AC is on

What could be the cause of water dripping under the glove compartment of the car when the Air Condisioner is turned on. BTW, its on a 96 civic four door. When the AC is off, there is no dripping of water. Thanks in advanced.

behind your glovebox is your evaporator. if the water doesnt bother you that much and the A/C is stil working fine I would let it alone until it totally fail cause that thing is super ****in expensive to have replaced. just my 2 cents

are you saying its dripping in the interior? if so, thats not normal. its suppose to drop outside under your car in the area behind your glove box.

There is a rubber hose that connects to the evaporator and lead out to the outside. Look under there and see if the hose fell off or what not. Like Will siad that is not normal
