Answer 1

Sounds like water leaking from your A/C.  As it cools the room, it also takes out some of the humidity.  That water is suppose to drain out the back of your unit.  You need to make sure the drain is not plugged & that the unit is tilted so the water drains away from the house.

Answer 2

Its likely the condensed water from your AC unit.  The water happens when warm moist air condenses to cool dry air, and is a natural product of air conditioners.  It should drain outside, check to make sure nothing is keeping it from draining properly.

Answer 3

We had the same problem with ours.

You have to check and make sure the filter is clean, that the drain in the back of the air-con isn't clogged and make sure the whole unit is level with the ground and not tilting forward and hopefully that is all it is.

If the unit is in your window, setting upon the sill or window frame, make sure the boards or whatever you have supporting it's weight from the back is level and not higher than the front.
