    Mini Split, Pioneer brand

    Hi, Yes I am not a A/C tec. Homeowner, and yes, i Installed, the correct procedure the new unit myself. Vaccuming lines, Electric voltage reduction and hanging bothe units. Inside has been no issues with water dripping until a week ago, Yearly i clean coils wich also cleans drain pan, line. But dripping is still occuring . Took inside unit cover off last night thing it was condensate line crack close to pan outlet, it is Not. But the rubber insulation on it (pan) at top is wet. The drain pan line is dry at outlet, dripping water is somewhere on upper right side below coils. Any ideas or information would be appreciated! This is 2 years old pioneer heat pump unit, No trouble till now. Thanks

    Well I'm surprised you have a water leak from the indoor unit when it's winter. It should only make condensate when it's running ac during the summer.

    The water is coming from something. It just has to be found. You'll also need to verify the drain works by pouring some water down the back side of the coil and make sure the water drains outside. You may just have a negative slope on the drain which needs to be corrected.

    Have a tech come out and find and fix the refrigerant leak you have. And the water leak won't happen anymore.

    Thanks for some info, i did clean coils while looking for leak, the coil cleaner did come out the drain line outside, but maybe it wasn't enough volume. Ill try pouring a cup of water on top coils today. Thanks for input.
