Water from under dash

Hey all, first time poster!

I just bought my 00 SR5 Highlander a few weeks ago. Have owned several wranglers and lifted trucks in the past. Love the yota tho! And next new rig will be a tacoma. BUT, all that aside I have a water leak when it rained today. I also feel water splashing on my ankles when floor vent AC is on. The two holes to the right of the "7" in this pic is where it's coming from. Took a right turn and it poured on my shoe! Pics of the T4R to come later. (Blacked out on 33s now). Please help! Sorry I don't know where to upload besides imageshack so its super small...

Kinda hard to tell from the pics, but from what your describing it sounds like your AC Condensation tray isn't draining properly. Those holes near the 7 to me just look like the air directors for your feet. There should be a rubber hose that sticks through the fire wall just above the right hand steering rack boot that connects too a nipple on the internal plastic tray. It's possible this has been blocked with mildew buildup or some animal stuffed something inside. If the AC has been running with the truck running for some time do you get a nice big puddle next to your passenger tire?
 
not sure what is happening in the photo.. maybe a few of where the water is dripping from the inside. Check what was mentioned above and also make sure the grommet that goes through the firewall on the driver side is properly seated otherwise you can get hosed right above where your feet would be while driving.

I know the pic sucks. I will check the hose. I just had an AC service done but it's def possible they overlooked the drain hose. I took my entire cowl off last night but that is clean as could be.

Update: I took a vid and gonna upload later. That white arm in that photo near the vent exits has a joint above vent hole. Water just spews out of there when on full blast.
