As stated earlier, clean your drains. If you have an early 996, make sure the drain grommets have been updated per the TSB. The slots keep debris from laying flat and plugging the orifice completely. Check your VIN window to make sure you have the clear plastic cover in place. it only take one small leaf to plug the drain on the passenger side if these updates have not been applied.

Got some pictures for you all..





I cleaned the drain out for the A/C condenser. It seemed clear but i think the water is building up in that general area. I really poured out today on the both the drivers and passenger sides after i ran the A/C for a while. any ideas anyone?

Use air to blow out the AC condenser drain. I had water in passenger footwell and that was the problem. Drain is above pass footwell and connects to AC unit.
