I ran into a similar problem in our church building. We have an air conditioning unit where the compressor is outdoors and the air handling unit is inside. I got a call that there was water leaking into the downstairs area and it was coming from a heater. Since we have hot water heat, I decided I had better take a look and figure out if we needed a plumber or our HVAC technician. It turned out that someone had turned on the air conditioning unit. The moist air had condensed on the plenum housing the evaportor coil and the ice was about half an inch thick. Someone else had turned the thermostat up and the unit went off. The leak was the ice melting off the plenum. I removed as much ice as I could, then ran the blower only to pull warm air through the plenum and dry things out. You were running your air conditioning compressor when you ran the system on defrost. If the windshield was fogging up, there was considerable moisture in the air. Your HVAC system in your Fiat was doing its job. I often find water on the garage floor under our cars under similar conditions.
