Tonight when I turned on the heater in my 93 I started to get a weird dripping noise? If I turn the knob to increase the air flow on the dash the dripping noise goes faster. The noise comes from right under the glove box.

There arent any leaks, passenger side carpet is dry, and the heater blows really hot. Im wondering what it could be.

There is a small drain on the firewall from the heater box. If the core is leaking it will start leaking out on the exhaust before into the car. Usually if the core is bad then the windshield fogs up and you can smell coolant though. You could have something hitting the fan blade too causing the noise.
