As the unit cools the Air, the air is less able to hold moisture. This excess moisture is Condensed into liquid water on the cooling coils (Condenser Unit). A drain pan is required to catch the dripping water and channel it away.

Cut it off. An AC unit is supposed to remove the humidity from the air and condense it to water which you pump outside the house. I may not be clear on the problem here but I would try to prevent outside air from entering the attic.

Your window air conditioner has a chemical smell what is it?

The most common odor problem from a window ac unit is that there is a buildup over time in the drip pan. The pan collects condensation and allows it to drain through a hole in the ac unit. Over time the pan will collect dirt and other particles, and can develop mold. With the ac unit unplugged the cover will need to be removed, and the pan scraped out and washed.
