When air is cooled the water in it comes out (like mist forming on the outside of a class filled with cold coke) and this happens in the air conditioner. Normally the dripping water is drained way to the outside (or a drain) by a pipe. If the pipe gets blocked the water will overflow and the conditioner will leak water - get it serviced.

Can a horizontal window air conditioner be mounted vertically in a casement window?

No, because of the mechanical compressor mounting. Much of how the compressor works is based upon gravity - altering the gravitational flow of the gases inside the unit would make it non-operational, and could cause internal damage, and/or a fire. There's a reason things are marked plainly "this side up".

Why would your car be dripping water after running the heater?

Most heater settings on a modern car with Air Conditioning will cause the A/C compressor to kick on. This is to remove moisture from the inside air and prevent frosting of the windshield and windows. The air conditioner coils accumulate the moisture which drips down and through a small tube or hose and out the bottom of the car. That's what you are seeing, if it's clear water.On the other hand, if it's coolant (antifreeze) you have a leaking heater core.
