The answer in most cases is YES. The reason that the air is coming out of the condensate overflow (drain) tubes is because there is a positive air pressure being exerted by air handler or furnace. There are some systems where there is a negative air draw on the drain and could possibly be capped. Depending on the configuration of the unit and the location of the evaporator coil it could be a normal part of the operation of the condensate overflow to have air coming out. Depending on the way the condensate drain was designed, it may be required to be "open" in order to drain properly. Covering or capping the drain opening could cause it not drain properly or back up. There is no way to know if should be covered or not from a discussion. You would have to see the actual drain design and orientation of the equipment to decide if it should be covered. It was designed and installed that way then leave it alone. Otherwise, a professional should SEE it before making any changes.
yes
If it's part of the AC system you're just getting a little condensate from the cooling coils. Often the defroster will also cause a little condensate to build up. It has to go somewhere and many auto manufacturers have a tube or other device for allowing the condensate to leak out. Not only is it normal, it's necessary to get rid of the condensate.
Well, no. But its normal for the float in the carb to get get stuck and cause the gas to overflow through the overflow tube.
A flood is a large amount of water that overflow from beyond its normal confines. A flood can happen where there is a heavy rainstorm that can overflow a river.
Is the temp. light coming on? Check your coolant level in the overflow reservoir If the level is to low it could cause the fan to run more than normal. I have a 2002 Sportsman 500 and my light was coming on and the fan was running more than normal. I had a pin hole leak in the tubing between the radiator and the overflow reservoir This was causing it to leak antifreeze and allowing it to suck air into the cooling system. Which was causing my fan to run and my temp light to come on.
this sounds like a bad thing to me...like the reservoir and/or the cooling system, has no antifreeze in it and heat from the engine is exiting through the cooling system. Does your temperature gauge read in the normal range? Is the car running OK? FriPilot
Condensate dripping from your AC is normal and not considered a leak. Anything else is bad.
Because it's pumping freon through the pipe and its freezing cold
Normal Running temp is 200 degees.
The Normal running temp is 180 - 190

In all probability you either have a bad radiator cap or an air lock.
