2. Damaged Drain Pipe
When the drain pipe is bent or damaged, or the AC is not properly installed, water can also leak from the front. 

Solution: The drain pipe needs to be readjusted or the indoor unit needs to be reinstalled.

3. Vacuum created in the pipe
When you don't empty the bucket in time, you create a vacuum in the pipe, which leads to leaks.

4. Low gas pressure or Heavy blockage in indoor unit

Why is your AC leaking from the back? Look at the wall side of your AC. Does it leak water from there? This usually happens when the back drain tray becomes clogged with dust and other impurities.
