Check for proper condensate drainage. Make sure the drain pan and drain tube isn't clogged with debris and check for mold inside the unit. Check that the blower wheel is clean as well.

How to Clear an Air Conditioner Clog : Window Air Conditioners... How to Unlock a Bathroom Door Knob : Door Installation & Repairs ...
The drain hole in the drip pan, near the rear of the unit is clogged and/or the rear of the unit does not have enough downward tilt. The general rule of thumb for rear downward tilt is 1/4" to 1/2". The downward tilt causes the water to flow to the rear of the drain pan and out thru the drain hole. A clogged drain hole can be hard to find, sometimes. As the clog will blend in with the hole. Patience & persiistence are the key to located it. A piper cleaner works well to clear the clog, once the drain hole is located. Before attempting any service on the unit, turn it OFF & unplug it.

Check the air filter. If it is dirty, clean it. If the coil (aluminum fins) behind the filter are dirty, brush them off with a soft broom, being careful not to flaten the fins. If it is leaking inside and you see water on the coil, let it completely thaw before turning it on.
Another thing to check is the drain. Water (humidity) from your room is condensed on the inside coil and flows to the outside through a drain, located in the pan, under the coil. If there is no ice, but the drain pan is full of water, located the drain and clear the blockage. I have used a flexible drinking straw to get into the drain hole and then just blow it out. Remember, you don't want to drink that stuff, blow, don't ****!
the water leak is not a big concern -other than the mess it causes, but as to the AC's operational status it is supposed to draw water/humidity from the 'cooling space' so - it's still doing it's job (I'm assuming it's cooling too).
As to the water - I would check the drain to be sure it's not clogged up - which is usually the problem. If the drain is clear and the AC is draining (to the outside) properly - I would then check and make sure the AC is tilted backwards out the window.
the drain pan is either clogged or the unit is not mounted properly. If the drain pan is clogged simply clean it and the problem goes away. In the case of the unit mounting, check the angle of the unit and the drain pan inside, if it tilted to the front even just a little then water would leak. the drain pan should lean toward the drain and away from the front.
Dear brians933,
If the air conditioner is window / wall mounted please make sure that it is tilted backwards about 3/8 inches. The front side should be upward and the out side portion of the AC downwards. If the drain pipe is blocked the water will leak inside. Please run a stiff wire or thin rod in the drain pipe and then **** the water out please donot blow in, the pipe is getting more blocked this way.
Hope this solve your problem.
