What is your particular unit? You are describing some things that I'm not recognizing.

The words "drain tube" may be misleading. It is more of a hole than a tube. In one of the references above, the serviceman says
"on most roof top A/C/ units, the condensation drains out the bottom of the unit - between the base of the air conditioner and the roof. For this reason, never, ever seal around the perimeter of the air conditioner - I cannot say how many times I have had to deal with a unit where someone slopped goop around the base of the air conditioner, trapping water in where it has to leak inside. The "inside" coils of the air conditioner sit in a drain pan, to collect the condensation, which then runs out a small hole in the side, and out the bottom."
