Re: I think the evaporator has packed it in!!
I should have clarified..there is also a nice leak coming in to the passenger floor. Similar to the other leaks described in this thread. It is not the sunroof or rain cover.

Could be dealing with one of two situations; a leak in your heater core, which would show in low coolant levels & a sweet smell in the cabin, or a leak from where the fresh air enters the cabin, which I believe is #10 in the image above.

anyone knows where exactly water exits, underneath the s70 98 Base? My AC drains, but I have lots of rotten metal right next to the catalytic converter. I think it's related to the AC water.

ok, just inspected it. So it drains directly on the shield over the catalytic converter, then some of the water ends up trapped between my passenger side shield mounting meeting the flexible shield over there. The mounting has rotten away. Huge chunk of the floor is rotten in that place. Weird design, unless it is not an original set up?
