Typically the way a.c works is that the a.c comes on gets the coil cold and draws the humidity out of the indoor air. if your house is comfortable and your a.c hits setpoint then sounds like everything is working fine. My a.c drains the moisture down my sump. Also your drain could be plugged or your unit not cooling properly

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.
