I have been running my A/C for a couple days, its been real hot and humid here, my girlfriend noticed that her feet were soaked.
I checked it out and everything was soaked on the passenger side. I looked under and it was dripping from the fan area. Anyone have this problem before, if so what caused it?

The condenser drain hose/pipe is either clogged up or missing... take it to the dealer...

My g/f's 00' Celica has a similar probelm. I took apart the glove compartment, but i still cant seem to locate it.
Any pics or general description will be very helpful?
Thanks!

On the passenger side pull up the carpet, in the upper left you will
see a 14mm black hose going in to the floor, I pulled up a hard plastic tube out of a squeeze drink bottle, I pushed up into the hose al the way into the drainage housing a bunch of leaf fragments came out I drained the excess water , replaced the hose, dried the carpet and its great now. Also if you pull the little cover off on the left where your left leg would be you should see dripping. That hose drains that housing. Good Luck.

There's two reason there would be water on the floor there...
1.) the AC Drip goes through a hole in the floor right there...its just a rubber hose that it drips out of and if that got pushed up, itll leak inside the car.
2.) The water line for the rear watter nozzle for the rear wiper runs down right there...you may have severed that...
check those two things

Ok I checked the hose and reseated it. They seem to be in the hole like it's supposed to be. I examined the hose and nothing seem to be blocking it. It's not wipers fluid. The hose is fine for that.
I stuck a branch it the drain area and it seemed to be clear. However it fell through the hole. Does the hole under the carpet lead directly outside the car? Cause I cant seem to find the branch that I dropped through the hole.
We dried off most of the water. I will have her drive around with the AC on and the carpet rolled up. I hope we can pin point were the water is coming from.
Here are some pics:
