Having puddle in back seat troubles.
Hey guys and girls ran into a problem I have been noticing with this weather change. When ever I run my heat or A/C it always leaks a fluid out of the air vent under the drivers seat. It is creating puddles of water in the back left seat of the car. Is their anyway that this issue can be fixed other than not running A/C and heat?
Here are a couple videos:

im perplexed. Does your hvac actually get cold, or hot? Have you looked under the seat while the HVAC is running to determine where it is coming from (take pictures too)? Is there colour/odour?

Hey,
There is no color or odour to it at all... It is comming from the vent underneath the drivers seat. I also made a video but it will not allow me to upload it threw my phone.

Re: Having puddle in back seat troubles.
Your heater or A/C and particularly the A/C will not produce enough moisture (condensation) to cause puddling in the back seat. I am going to say that somewhere you have existing puddling from either rain or car washing that is not being drained and when you turn on your fan it blows into your car. Find where the water is entering your HVAC system first. Try the area around the firewall and your cabin air filter housing. Try being inside the car while someone is hosing the car from the outside and see if there is a difference.

It was happening before my car even seen rain... Now today when I went to the car wash after about 30 min there was water entering behind my glove box leading to the passengers floor mats

Re: Having puddle in back seat troubles.
That should tell you that you have a water leak problem. Water will find the path of least resistance and for you that path is your ventilation system. Unfortunately I don't have the magic answer other than you will have to do some investigation with a hose and observations.
Good luck and let us know how you make out.
