I have 96 Honda civic DX. Some days I see lot of water on passenger
side carpet after I turn on A/C. Its definitely leaking from inside and
does not happen every day.
Its not related to rain for sure. Could be related to outside
temp/humidity.

Any ideas, what could be wrong?

Thanks

There is a plastic housing for the A/C evaporator on the passenger side.
When the A/C is running, water will form inside the housing from
condensation of moisture in the air. At the bottom, front edge of the
housing, there is a nipple where a drain hose is connected. The hose
goes almost straight forward through the fire wall and then bends down
inside the engine compartment. Check around this hose, perhaps it has
been disconnected from the nipple, perhaps it is broken/ torn, or
perhaps the hose is clogged so the housing fills with water and
overflows.

Agree with Randolf... your drain is plugged.
