Default Air Conditioner Leak

I think I have read all the A/C leak threads and have not run into this. I have a slow drip at the indicated spot in the attached photo only with the A/C on. It drips at that outside corner caulked seam. The A/C is discharging midway on the TM's left side.
Anyone have any thoughts on the cause? Thanks.

It is either a plugged condensate drain causing the pan to overflow or a crack in the condensate drain pan.

I've not had these units apart so I cant give you anymore details. Sorry.

If you're handy you can open it up and clean out the plug or seal up the crack with a good caulk.

Just caulking around the ceiling trim wont fix it and may actually cause more problems.

Thank you . I'll check it out tomorrow. The condensate is draining off the left side of the roof, but there still may be a pan crack somewhere. Not sure how to take the unit apart but guess I'll find out when on the roof.

I have not seen anything beyond the "...I will look" post. We were gone for 3 weeks and had to run the AC almost continually while we were out. Anyhow, it began dripping inside from the filter and we had to put pans on the floor to collect the water (lots and lots of water). Is there a drain that might be plugged? If so, where? I looked at the AC "riser" and I don't see anything that looks like a weep hole. When it dripped inside it also ran off the roof at the right front corner on the trailer. Any ideas where to begin?
