No water should be draining. Properly leveled the water is slung to the

Thanks. I did not know this. ...


That's true up to a point -- there's a drain hole there for a reason...


Nope.

If there's sufficient humidity in air there can easily be more
condensate than the condensor will evaporate so you'll get condensate
draining...

If OP's is tilted so badly it overruns the lip of the bottom case as he
indicates, probably either the drain is plugged or there's a sideways
tilt or other obstruction preventing condensate from going out the drain
but is pooling at the low spot. The lip would have to be higher than
the drain which seems incredible or perhaps there are obstructions
between that act as dam preventing the flow...

Either way, the condensate beyond what the condensor _can_ evaporate
should go out the drain hole...

I have a 10,000 BTU Frigidaire air conditioner. There is no drain hole.
If the installer made a drain hole he owes her a new AC.

Mine barely has pith and it never drips.
