Reservoir under glovebox leaked?

I have an 04 AT gt if that makes any difference to this problem. The other day I started my car and heard a gurgling then gluging sound like a water jug emptying from the front passangers side of the car. I was already late for an appointment and had to go then I forgot about it for two days. Two days later when I opened the car door it smelled wet and musty inside. That's when I remembered what had happened. The passangers side floor is wet and there is some kind of reservoir with a small pump on the bottom of it under and behind the glovebox that must have leaked.

All of that brings me to, what is this reservoir and how can I go about fixing it? Thank you for your help, I have already searched everything I can think of with no answer.

Sounds like your drain for your A/C evap is plugged

It is on the top of the firewall about level with the oil filter area...search for " duck lips" and you should find a picture I posted a while back

You might be able to open the drain with a blast of air from an air nozzle....then spray it with silicone spray to keep the thing from sticking shut from the heat
