Either you have a leak coming down the vent flue pipe where it goes through the roof or, if you have a high efficiency, and no vent through the roof then you have a condensation leak. Inside the furnace, there are hoses that go to a trap. Just follow them to where this is and ck for a cracked hose or a plugged trap. Blow it out with compressed air.

Well first we need to determine what type of furnace you have. Is it hydro or a 90% plus gas furnace? If its hydro it could be that a pressure problem does exist and you should call someone to come check it out. If it is a 90% gas furnace then you could have a plugged collection cup. One of the byproducts from 90% furnaces is water, because of the secondary heat exchanger. The secondary heat exchanger captures the heat that goes up the flue. As the gas cools water vapor condenses and runs back down into a collection cup. Then it slowly drains out through a clear plastic tube or through PVC tube. You should call someone to fix this as well.

Yes, I can. Water is leaking from your furnace because it is leaking in your roof around the flashing where the furnace vents. And if that water gets in your furnace's circuit board, as it did mine, it will destroy it and then you get to pay several hundred dollars to replace it (and wait weeks while it is on order). Go up on your roof and caulk the heck out of all the flashing around the pipe above your furnace, quickly.

Apparently, it a 90+ furnace. Its either coming from the exhaust vent pipe, the secondary heat exchanger or the condensate trap or a cracked condensate hose.

A pressure valve may have kicked in. The pressure in the furnace may have gotten too high.
