anyone had any problems with A/C leaking on the inside of the car? I have a 2000 and this recently happened. Thanks.

If you mean condensate leaking inside, the answer would be "Yes".

There are other sources of the leak too. Windshield,drain from the sun-roof, drain blockages in the cowling etc.

At times you can help the situation by clearing the designed drain. There should be a pipe which dribbles out A/C condensate, you can run a wheel whacker sting up the pipe.

The problem happens when the plastic clamshell develops leaks/cracks [age related]. The proper fix involves too much labor.

[you can turn the A/C off (remove Auto mode), run the heater at hot to remove moisture in the clamshell]
