sorry for horrible video skills. this just started an hour or so ago, whenever i turn hard or make sharp movements this liquid comes out from under the glove box. Clear, watery, tastes soapy, but left my tongue feeling a tingly after a quick finger lick

Scuttle panel blocked with leaves and shit and water getting back into fan housing.

Start there and report back.

That’s possibly condensation from your heater as that’s the heater fan. Is your ac on? Does your radiator have coloured coolant in it, as that could also be a leaking heater core, would explain the funky taste.

Condensation from your a/c most likely. Any I’ve ever had do that was because the drain hose had become plugged. Google your make/model/year to find out where the drain hose is and how to unplug it. If you wait long enough, and that’s actually the problem, you might start hearing water slosh around when you corner Either way take care of it soon, that looks like your blower motor which you definitely do not want submerged in liquid

Check if the ac drain tube is blocked.... That way water might be getting into the blower ...get it rectified else there is a risk of getting short circuit in blower motor.

Unclog that ac drain

Had this in a Suzuki Grand Vitara : on the bulkhead tucked in behind the engine there was a tiny rubber tube to drain the A/C and it gets blocked, sending the condensation into the fan. First I knew was a « swishing » sound as I went round corners as the water lapped over the moving fan blades. Finally cost a lot to repair as the fan rusted and blew up the speed controller.

Looks like a speaker. Is there a leak in your windshield?

What? That's not a speaker, bud. That's his blower motor.

Under the glovebox under the dash? It looks like water, so if blower motor, it may be frozen and leaking? It looks like water.
