Moisture condenses from the ambient air as it is cooled. Human beings breathe out moisture with every breath, and weather systems, especially in the summer at higher temperatures, contain moisture. Search on relative humidity, and dew point for more information.

This is due to the fact that when cooling happens the water vapor which comes in contact with the cooling coil cools down and condenses.

What would cause a central air conditioner to make a dripping sound in the inside unit and leak water?

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.

most likely it is water coming from the air-conditioner unit. this water comes from the air that is cooled by the air-conditioner. the water is supposed to drain from the car when the car is level. OR, if the liquid is coloured it is from the engines cooling system. this means you have a leak and it is catching somewhere. when you reverse it runs out of the catchment.
