AC condensation leaking into car

I dont know if this is a common issue at all but Ill just post to let you know and incase anyone has any more experience of it

I thought the water leak was from the heater matrix then today while finally having a good look discovered it was the aircon matrix (? ive no idea of the proper name) it was the condensation.

So i applied a line of silicon to the bottom edge of the cover panel to stop it leaking into the car, and will look to see if and where the drain pipe is blocked and why it shouldnt be draining properly. It was remarkably clean inside the matrix thing, no signs of gunk and goo at all
