House Purchase Advice

Lee - usually when you have water pouring out of an AC unit, all that's wrong is the drain line for the pan that sits underneath of the coils is clogged up. You can fix it yourself by pushing a piece of wire through the drain pipe or using compressed air to blow it out. Otherwise, an AC guy probably won't charge you over $1XX for the work.

That was my initial impression, but after looking at it the leak appears to come from one of the joints which may have cracked or given out. I don't have plumbers dope or any of that stuff and I frankly don't want to sweat my ass off in the attic trying to put together pieces of piping (especially if there's something else that's causing it)...so in this case I'm leaving it to the professionals. Besides, that switch probably has to be replaced or fixed in the drain pan so this doesn't happen again.

There's also the possibility that it may be covered under warranty.
