What do you do or who is responsible when an exterior wall of your condo is leaking onto your condo?
Your question is interesting in that it asks about leaks 'onto' your condo, without stating that the water is leaking 'into' your condominium. Water dripping onto your condominium balcony/ roof line/ window pane and so forth is expected and normal so long as the waterproof integrity of your building envelope remains in place and there is no water intrusion. However, if water is leaking into your condominium, you must alert your association manager or resident manager or board and request that the issue addressed as soon as possible. Water leaks mean mold eventually, which can be major damage and which is often excluded by insurance coverage.
