Condensation. There is no water in your air conditioning unit to leak. Condensation is caused by the cooling coils being exposed to moist (humid) air. This condensate is usually channeled away from the unit, and into the drain system of your house or out through the attic into the rain gutters (attic installation).
If you have water dripping and/or pooling up around the A/C unit, you may have a clog in the condensate line. This could be caused by a buildup of mildew and/or algae in the drain line. And, this water "leak" should be fixed before it causes water damage to the surrounding wood.

Either the condensate drain line is clogged up or your unit is freezing up. If it is freezing up it could be caused by a dirty filter or several other things. For a step by step troubleshooting guide, check out the air conditioner page at my source.

If you mean on the inside, then your drain plug is clogged. Try using a wet and dry vac on the drain line outside to suck out what ever is in the line.
