Air conditioning leak? (need help)

Ok so when I am going around corners, slowing down real fast, and accelerating real fast <(ha yeah right) with my air on I can hear this noise comming from behind my glove box. I cant really explain how it sounds but its kind of like a low pitched hissing noise. The thing is now there is water dripping from under my glove box. Its pretty much a constant drip- my sister just took my car for a drive while I rode in the passenger seat and the watter drip is pretty bad and I dont know where it is comming from. Everything looks ok under the hood, and my car stinks now because of all the water. If anyone has had a problem like this please let me know what is wrong, I am not under warranty so this is not good. I will try to not use it until I find out what is wrong but its real hot down in texas so that might not last long.

the evaporator drain line is clogged.. if you take it to the dealership they are well aware of the problem, its a common one.. should run you about $30-40.. unless you want to tackle it yourself and save some loot.
