Default Air Conditioning unit

Is there anyone on this list familiar with heating/airconditioning units. I
recently went under the house to clean the air ducts when I noticed that
there is a steady stream of water leaking out of the unit. There is a line
coming into the unit from the heat pump outside, and right next to it is
some kind of inlet that is steadily leaking water. I'm assuming that this is
condensation leaking because my water bill would be through the roof if it
was from a water line. I would like to either stop the leak or divert it. It
hasn't done this in the past, but I don't know what's changed. Any ideas?

Not sure by your description, but if A/C is running it should be
dripping condensate.

Usually there's a primary and secondary drip pan and drain. When the
primary system clogs, the secondary kicks into action.

So clear the clog in your primary condensate drain.

Fix the condensate pump system, or add one if needed.
