Last summer it would do this and drip water on the passenger's floor mot from just underneath the dash. A shop that I had work on the issue at that time said some portion of the A/C system had mud or dirt in it that caused it to condense moisture internally and mix with the "dirt" and created a mud like consistency. This supposedly reduced the effectiveness of my a/c causing it to begin blowing warmer air. His solution was to spray water inside the blower area up next to the passenger's side firewall through an access point created by removing some kind of electrical sensor or relay. I'm not sure what the electrical component really is though.

This "fix" only worked for part of the day I got it back from the shop then it started to get warm again and dripped water on passenger floor mat. So far this year I haven't had to use the a/c much, but it really doesn't work worth a darn on days above 75 and I haven't experienced the drip on the floor mat this year either.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

it sounds like you need to check the airgap in your compressor clutch, and maybe replace the clutch. Mine was doing the same thing for the past few weeks. replaced clutch and all is well.
