Water is leaking onto the passenger floor of my 97 acura intergra when the AC is being used.  
  
 About 1 pint with no antifreeze smell or texture will slowly drain from the firewall. I had used a wire to rod the water drain hose from below but it has not solved the problem.  
  
 What is the next repair step and how much should I expect to pay.

What kind of wire did you use? It’s probably still plugged up, and you just didn’t get it cleaned out.

I used 1/8" prox dia wire and fed it about 12" up the hose.  
The repair shop said they used a coat hanger and about 1 pint of water drain out.
