In an air conditioner, the cooling coil is super cooled by circulating the coolant, air is passed over the coil to make it cool, before letting the air in to your room. air has capacity to hold water - moisture. this is also called humidity. capacity of air to carry water in the form of water vapour is more when the air temperature is higher. therefore when the air becomes cooler, some water vapour condenses and becomes water. the water is collected over the cooling coil. all air conditioners have a water outlet from the exterior side of the cooling coils. there is nothing wrong with this water. drinking is not advisable, because it contains atmospheric impurities and is devoid of any mineral content.

It's from condensation. But if it has never happened before, check that you did not turn the fins downwards too much. It increases the condensation and causes the water to drip. It could also be a sign that the air con needs servicing.

Cold air holds less water vapour than warm air. That's why your windows are covered in condensation on a cold morning. When you cool air, you squeeze water out of it. There's nothing wrong with your AC. Most ACs are fixed into the wall so the water they extract from the air drips to the ground outside. Don't worry about it.

It's condensate, from the atmosphere.
