Clear liquid front passenger side leaking

Today, when I stopped the car, there were several drops of a clear
liquid coming down from under the front passenger side. When I looked
under the car I saw the drops coming down from the tip of the
accumulator. The sides of the accumulator were glistening wet. At this
point I don't know if it comes from above the accumulator or not. I am
operating this car in hot climate - could it be condensing water?

Thanks

 More than likely, it's a gap between where the cabin filter would be and
the windshield. Rain is getting inside--a very common Focus problem. When it
happened to me, I received a good 1-2" of accumulation in the passenger
footwell. My dealer covered its fix under warranty.

I'm pretty sure he was referring to water underneath the car on the
passenger side, not inside the car. The issue you are referring to is
common but I don't that's it in this case.

And yes, when it is hot and humid, it is normal to see water dripping
under the car when it is stopped after running the AC.

 Whoops, as a reread it, I believe you're right. My typing fingers
apparently go into auto-response mode when I read "passenger-side water."
Thanks.

No problem. My Mom has an '01 Wagon, my brother has an '02 ZX5 and
I've got an '04 SVTF. So far none of them has had the infamous pollen
filter compartment leak problem. I was very conscious of it a couple
of years ago when I installed a pollen filter in my SVTF but so far,
so good. Admittedly living in the Phoenix, AZ area we don't see much
rain but pools of ac condensate water under parked cars is very common
this time of the year. :-)
