Default Water leaking when AC runs

Hello Audi Forum-ers!

I noticed yesterday that when I turn on the AC on my car some water starts leaking from the right front side. I checked, and it is water for sure. Is it a major problem? Any DIY fixes?
Please advise. The car has 69000 miles Thanks!

<<Edit>> -- HAhahaha! This seems normal... hadn't noticed it earlier.. feel so stupid :|

Regs,

most any car will drop water when the ac is on, some cars dump it, its just condensation is all

seattle206 - Thanks for your reply! Yup... I just mentioned it to my colleagues n they said the same thing! Plus, since we're in Houston there's sooo much humidity here! that's probably the reason why the water was almost being dumped as you said!
Have a good weekend!

your AC drain hole is plugged, go under the oil filter and unlock the opening of a small rubber! This should solve the problem. or check out some of the DIY's job at Houston auto repair shops.
