Default 2005 S40 AC-related leak

Hi guys,

I'm having an issue with what I think is an AC-related leak on my 2005 Volvo S40. After a short trip I discovered my passenger floorboard soaked from the front foot-space almost all the way to the back seat. After pulling out the seat and carpet I've discovered the source of the leak - it seems to be coming from the corner of a black box behind the center console. Pic and video below. Does anyone have any input as to how I can resolve this? I'm hoping I can do it myself and save some money if possible. Thanks in advance for any feedback!

Ok I think I fixed it. Seems that the AC drain tunnel was completely blocked with insulation and crud. Is the insulation in front of the hole from the mfg or did it just slip into that position over time? Pulled it out and seems to be fixed so far.
