There are three possible fluid can leak though the glove box.

Leaves and dirty block the drainage pathway..
Rain water/car wash water will seek the lowest spot.

AC condenser water drainage pathway may be block.

Windshield washer hose come off and window washer fluid somehow find it was to the interior.

Try to identify the smell of the liquid. It may just be Wet ones wipes.


Good luck

It sure sounds like the heater core, especially if you have water leaking inside the cabin. The two heater hoses only go from the engine to the firewall, and do not go into or through the firewall. They connect to the heater core right at the firewall.
Check carefully around the back side of the engine and the heater hoses, though. If a freeze plug is leaking, water will be dripping off the bottom of the engine. If it is leaking before the firewall, that would not be the heater core.

The drain on your evaporator core housing is most likely plugged. Condensation on the evaporator core drips down into the plastic housing and drips onto the ground through a hose on the firewall on the
passenger side.

Find the small hose on the firewall in the engine compartment. You should be able to pull off that
hose and see if its stopped up. If the hose is ok, you may need to remove some of the ac ducts
under the dash to get to the evaporator core housing to unclog the drain hole.

I have no doubt that thats the problem.

I have a 1993 toyota wish, no manual, and what looks like water dripping out of the plastic trim from beneath the glove box??? I am guessing it must have something to do with the air con?? Help!!! Had to...

It is either water from the a/c drain hose, which, if leaking inside the car is plugged up, and must be cleared (from under the car, the tube is in front of the the passenger area, roughly behind the front tire, near where the passengers feet would be. Use a thin wire to dislodge junk in the tube.
Or it is your heater core leaking, which means it needs to be replaced (you can determine if it's this if the 'water' is antifreeze, by checking the color, and the odor-anitfreeze has a sweet smell.)

Rain water leaking from under glove box, heater area, is not antifreeqe, iam sure it is rain water

The evaporator drain might be clogged. Get under the truck or open the hood and look for a rubber nipple coming out of the firewall on the passengers side. Try sticking something in this hole to release whatever might be stuck in there, usually leaves or sediment. Be careful, don't go crazy pocking something in there. The evaporator core might be near the drain hole, you don't want to poke a hole in it.

check the smell of the liquid. if it smells like anti freeze...heater core is leaking. no smell and it could be moisture from the a/c evaporator core (condensation like on a cold soda can) or the windshield seal is leaking.

Water leaks into car due to clogged air conditioning hose

They are not always easy to see and they differ in length but yes they are typically on the passenger side firewall and may extend down towards the lower firewall or just drop out an inch from the firewall. a coat hanger is not always going to work and you will need to be careful not to put a hole in the evaporator that sits just inside from where that drain comes out. it is possible that the lower cover where the condensation is collected has a crack and may not be pluged at all. look above where it drips on the floor and see if there is any sign of damage to that cover. You may find that it is easier to take off the cover and clean. that will just depend on your confidence in dismanteling that part of the dash and heater box.
