Default Aircon leaking in footwells

Anyone else had the problem where after the aircon has been on it leaks in the driver and passenger footwell?

Not the heater matrix and only ever happens when I have the aircon on.

Any help would be appreciated

the drain is blocked from the bit inside the car that does the cooling

not too clued up on how they are set up but that's the reason it's getting wet

As above, sounds like the drain tube is blocked.

I'm sure, there is a drainage tray under the evaporator, which is like the heater matrix but it cools, condensation drips into the tray and drains out through the drainage hole which comes out under the car. The hole is probably blocked.
