08 328i sedan N52

So, interesting thing happened to me on my commute today - I was making a hard right 270 degree turn swapping interstates, and a stream of water poured from the dash below the radio right onto my right ankle and down the center console.

What could this be from? I noticed a whistling/ chirping sound the other day, and a couple of times since then that has me thinking maybe the compressor has gone bad. It's intermittent, and I can't really replicate it when I need to. Doesn't happen at any sort of RPM's.

Reading today, sounds like maybe I have a leaky windshield/ cowl, and a bad A/C motor? Does anyone know where I need to look, and what I need to be looking for?

If it matters, I recently had new tires put on, and I had the front control arms replaced, and an alignment performed.

Sunroof ? If so drain tubes are plugged

Your soft drink machine is leaking. You'll need to contact a service rep from a soda company depending upon which model you have.

335i: Coca-Cola
328i: Pepsi
325i: Walmart

Sometimes people upgrade to Coke, so if you're unsure but have a really good sense of taste, try a little bit of it to figure out which one. This is also a really good time to refill your CO2 canister. Dealer charges an arm and a leg for it, but the soda rep will top it off from their truck if you tip them well.

But really, this. The sunroof drains run down the A-pillars.

IT could be the rubber seal that runs the length of the bottom of the windshield, located under the hood, under all the plastic/rubber covers near the top of the engine bay.

I'd think it could be a clogged AC condensate line? The hard turn may have been just enough to move it to the drivers footwell?

This sounds closest, as the water came from the center of the car below/ behind the radio. I would think the sunroof drains running down the A Pillar would've dumped water from the outside edge of the car.

How would I access the condensate line to check for clogs? I did check out the windsheild cowl, and to my layman eyes it looked fine.
