When the A/C drain hole becomes clogged, water also gets dumped into the
passenger footwell. Since the OP did not mention water inside the car,
I am assuming that it is probably in the door sills.
The trapped water in the door sills also makes a lot more of a sloshing
noise than what is in the plastic A/C overflow box.
