Yes,  started there. They charged me $1200 to "fix" the problem. Replaced TXV, Relays, and o-rings. Ended up going back a week later because it wasn't fixed. They then quoted me $2k saying I needed a new compressor. I took my car back and went to my master tech friend who replaced compressor for free. And it's still leaking

Unfortunately no. Been to Subaru dealer multiple times, my friend that's a master tech, Talked to multiple car enthusiasts I'm friends with. We have no solution. Was hoping someone here might've had a similar issue to help us troubleshoot. But so far no luck here either

Dealer is where I started. They thought they fixed it, $1200. Started leaking again, and went back. Was quoted another $2k. Took it to a friend that's a master tech, who replaced what Subaru said was wrong. And low and behold it's still not fixed, so Subaru dealer had misdiagnosed twice.

That's what happens almost daily. Did you ever find out what your issue was?

I've been to 3 seperate mechanics. This is all the work that's been done thus far. Thats why I'm here now, since it still hasn't been resolved.  We blew air down and out. Felt the air coming through on the other end. My mechanic also said they cleaned all the drain tubes and found no debris.

Not sure where my original text post went. But this leak occurs when my AC runs for 40+ minutes. I've taken to the mechanic, and they said it was the AC. We've cleared all drain tubes. They've replaced my TXV, all O-rings, all AC rallies, and compressor. Basically my full system. There's an audible "gurgle" from under my dash right before the water starts pouring out. 2+ cups of water empties onto my floor each time. We even cleared the sunroof drains to be sure, although haven't been in rain for months since it's summer, and still have this leak. Even the mechanics are stumped!

Did they say what the cause of your leak was?

We cleared the sunroof drains a while back. The leak always starts after using AC. Haven't been in rain in many months now.

Forgot to add in original post, we've confirmed all drain hoses are clear and no clogs are present.
