Most likely you have a restriction in the condensation line. However another cause could be from a dirty air filter which prevents adequate air flow across the evaporater coil. Have you noticed any ice on the large copper line? If not it would most likely be the resticted drain. If the drain pipe is pvc, it will be 3/4" in diameter, got to a harware store and get a 3/4" "T" , pvc glue and primer. Then cut it into near the coil, have a small container nearby to collect the water. Pour some liquid plumber into the pipe going away from the coil, then pour water into the line after this to insure that it is draining properly and if not then repeat the process, if it does drain, then first apply the primer to the outside end of the PVC you cut covering about an inch of the surface, then primer the inside of the "T", then apply glue to the pipe and install the "T". Important note, the T should be placed where the line is running horizontal. By using a T, in the future you can use the unused port on the T as acess to pour bleach which will prevent this from happening again

Is the water coming from the a/c drain or the condenser? An a/c should normally have a drain which will normally drain condensation, it's not a leak. However if from the condenser area, then maybe your drain is cracked, the pan is cracked or rusted through. If dripping from the outside of the condenser, then wrap the unit in HVAC insulation to control the temperture, humidity and condensation on the metal housing, this can also happen with metal duct works.

Clogged drain line, your unit is too new to be cracked. Your unit could be frozen too (dirty air filter or low on refergriant). Go outside by the condenser and find the drain line - white pvc pipe or a black flexable pipe. Use a shop vac to suck the line clear. Then on a regular basis (every month or so) pour a little bleach into the drain line at the inside unit to help keep it from getting clogged again.

Could be a cracked drain pan, or clogged drain line.
Could also be freezing up and if it is off long enough, melting faster than the drain can handle.

Most likely, it is a plugged condensate drain line, at the bottom of your "A" coil. You will need to get into the plenum and unplug it.
