Alright sounds like I'm calling a tech. Thanks for your help.

Here is a crude picture of the setup. |. . . . /| |. . . /. | |. . / . .| | / . . . | |[]. . . | ====== | = Ducting / = evaporator [] = drip pan = = to air filter I know it's cheesy but it's the best thing I can think of. This would be a cut view from the side. I think it shows what I'm talking about. the evaporator is at an angle and so the water should trickle down and then drip into the pan but, it's dripping in the middle and falling onto the filter. Where do I find some of this foam cleaner? I didn't spray WD-40 I was pretty that would just stink the house up. I did however spray water from a little spray bottle really close to the evaporator this seemed to help a little but, I'm not sure yet.

The pan is in good condition. The line is a little plugged and I plan on cleaning it out soon but, the drip is not coming from the pan. I can look up inside of the unit and see the condensor or evaporator or whatever its called and the water is dripping off of it. The water is supposed to trickle down it into the drip pan put instead it's dripping in the middle straigt down on to the filter. I guess I'm having a hard time explaining it. The drip pan is the length of the unit and about 2-3 inches wide. The evaporator sits over the drain pan but, angles out. Only about 10% of the evaporator is directly over the drip pan. after that the rest is hainging over. thats where the problem is. The water is supposed to trickle down to the last 10% and then drip instead it's dripping way higher up on the unit. This is causing water to build up in the filter and then pudle underneath the unit. The filter actually covers everything up. I have to remove the filter to see the drip pan.

I'm sure this question comes up alot in the summer but, here it goes. My interior unit has what I think is called the condensor but, I'm sure what the exact word for it is. It's the part that gets cold and air is pulled through. Anyways the unit is in the closet in a the kitchen. The condesor is angled at a what looks like a 45 degree angle but, it might be a bit more then that. In normal operation I assume that the water that builds up on the unit is supposed to trickle down the unit and drip in to a drip pan. Well it's not working..... It's dripping about midway down the unit. I've tried vaccuming it out since it looks like it's built up some dirt on it but, this dosn't seem to be working. Does anyone have any tips for stopping the drip?? Maybe a very light coat of WD-40 or do I just need to keep vaccuming?
