A clogged drainage pipe is one of the most prevalent causes of a split air conditioner leaking water. The condensation from the AC unit drips down and away from the unit via this drain pipe. Water will leak from the bottom of the AC unit if this drain line becomes blocked.
Is your indoor split AC wall unit dripping water? Dirt or dust may block the air conditioning drainage pipe. If your air conditioner has just begun leaking water, the drain line is most likely obstructed. Cleaning the air conditioner and the whole drainage system is the best option.
