Ok I have this type of unit and its pitched back but when I have it on
energy saver I throws a lot of water out where the air blows out and also runs
down the front where the filter is. Ive put two large towels down on the
carpet but why should I need to do this? As usual the freakin power outlet is
directly below it. It has no drain holes on the bottom or the side and this is
Colorado where we dont get high humidty. Heck were in a fire danger
since winter. If I turn it on and just let it run 24-7 its better but I
guess so much for the energy saver part so I dont have to keep it on that
much. Why Is it the fan is forcing up water through the styrofoam airflow area
and why so much?

They splash that water up on the condenser coil to "save" that energy.
It cools more efficiently.

You could have accumulated dirt in the pan that does not let the water run to
the back. Many an AC has been killed by drilling holes and hitting the coil.
Pitch it bakc more yoo.
