Question Water leaking from under pasenger side of dash??

I live in Maryland where we have this killer heat wave going on so i chose cool air over speed. I charged my air conditioning system with a 134a recharge kit ($35). It was the first time since I've had it and the previous owner let it sit for about 10 yrs so its probally been a while. Everything was cool (literally) and working fine until i made a sharp turn and there was a kinda hissing sound like water in a frying pan and fluid that looked, smelled, and tasted like water started coming out from under the pasenger side dash. It wasnt much adn it stopped but it was disturbing. Anyone know something about this??

Worst case: The evaporator froze, then blew a leak, then thawed, releasing the blocked up water. I hope I’m wrong.
Maybe one of the AC experts can help..

If you need an evaporator, let me know. I have most of my old A/C system taking up space in a friend's garage.

I put a stick up that hose and poked around and all this water started pouring out. Good right?
