RP,
The condenser is located in front of the radiator it's job is to reject the
heat that was absorbed by the refrigerant in the evaporator and concentrated
by the compressor. The evaporator removes the moisture from the air, there
is a drain hose that goes from the evaporator to underneath the car to drain
the condensate. The hose either came loose or is plugged.

In my case, the first indication was a noise coming from the right front
only when making a hard left turn. I thought that one of the rubber
splash shields under the fender had come loose and was rubbing on the
tire, or there was a wheel bearing problem whose noise was being
transmitted through the frame and body into the cab.
I checked under the fender and all was well. I then thought of lots of
$$$ leaving my wallet for a wheel bearing replacement. I very rarely
carry passengers so there was no one to tell me the floor was wet. I
discovered the location of the noise after I had placed a cardboard box
on the passenger floor carpet and when I picked it up the next day, the
bottom of the box fell open and the water had wicked halfway up the
sides. I pulled all the rubber hoses off the heater system after putting
one of those aluminum pans used with the sterno trays under the heater
box to catch most of the water.
I used a shop vac and a carpet cleaning machine to get up most of the
left over water and then propped up the carpet with pieces of wood to
let the air circulate under it for a week.

Damn great minds think alike.I did all but the carpet cleaner.I put wood
under to hold it up and left a hair dryer in it for 2 days.DRy as a bone
now.Also thought the eheel bearings were going and actually pulled the
wheels and checked and repackedd both side.Each time we heard the
screech when we finally were getting my lady friends feet soaked I shut
the air off thinking it was the compressor failing.
