Warmer air is capable of "absorbing" more water.
When an air conditioner cools the air, some of that water condenses out, not only drying the air, but also leaving quite a bit of water on the coils of the air conditioner. Air conditioners not only cool the air, they also remove a lot of the humidity that makes the air feel "muggy".
The simple fact is, ALL vehicles can drip water when the air conditioner is on, depending on the relative humidity of your region on a specific day.
If your vehicle is only leaking water, it's just condensate, and the air conditioner is designed to properly deal with the condition.
Check the liquid that's leaking... if it's not colored (anti freeze color) and it's not oil... then it's condensate, a natural condition for a normally functioning air conditioner.
If it only does this after a rain, chances are you have a leaking windshield. Or the aircond. drain is clogged, even if you are only using the defrost with heat the air-cond. runs with the defrost.

Hope this helps! -- Rick
yes, by using less air-cond
Yes
is recommended if air cond. doesn't work
No, it contains too much moisture.
Clogged expansion orfice or moisture in the system
Low are NO free-on in system

Leaks water? The condensation drain is plugged.
most of the time its because not enough air flow thru the condensor---clean rad &cond
