Default 2005 Honda accord ac leak

Water on passenger side. I cleared drain hose. It's draining properly when running ac. Still water. I noticed water leaking from the unit right above the computer and draining down onto the pass side. All air vents r clear and clean. Is there a simple fix? Or do I need to take the car into a shop? I'm pretty handy...I need some guidance on this one...

It may still be a partially clogged A/C drain hose. Some have used a shop vac and duct tape for sealing to vacuum it. Also check the condition of the hose and that it is securely clamped and sealing at the end attached to where it drains from.

Any chance it's coming out from a split line between parts of the ventilation box? Gaskets?

How about rainwater from the cowling under the windshield? Does it happen with AC when it's not raining? Happen when it's raining without using AC?

Drain hose and clamp r in good condition. No leaks. I'll clean the line again. Ac leaks when I run the ac only (dry conditions or raining). Leak is coming from the bottom of the unit directly above the computer counsel on the floor/under the dash.

Cleaned line again (really the 3rd time) no water came out I started the car and ran the ac and tried several things - basically, the drain and hose r working properly and not seeing any inside leaks at this time...we'll see what happens. Thanks for the responses.
