water in passenger side

Driving home tonight with the ac running, as I made a sharp turn my wife said she heard water slosh onder the dash and dump on her shoes and the floor was soaked. I believe this is a clogged drain, where can I access this as I coundnt get to anything tonight and want to clear it tomorrow if thats the issue... it wasnt raining , just the ac running.

Find the drain behind the wheel and blow air into it.

The drain is on the engine side of the firewall on the passenger side, no wheel involved

Thank you all again. I could see the spout from above the airbox and I have an extension for my blow gun that would reach the spout easily, I blew a soft puff and out poured the water, so I gave it a few more short bursts to break up anything and flush it out... It seemed like a gallon poured out as I waited for the water to stop gushing out. Then I got the shop vac and sucked the water out of the carpet, when I opened the shop vac there was almost a gallon of water in there as well, so apparently this has been going on for awhile and I just havent noticed it ( since Im usually the only one in the car most of the time. Since I was at it, I went ahead and vac'd all the floorboards . Shouldnt have any issues for awhile I assume, Ill pick up a can of cleaner/freshener to spray in there, although there are no smells now, and hopefully none later. The cabin filter is new ( but the old one was really dirty when I bought the car last year... so theres that chance.

It would be a good idea to get the shop vac on that drain also, to remove any chunks that may still be in the drip pan.
