What causes water to leak out of drain pipe?
1– Water may leak in between the threads on the nut and the drain pipe if no plumbers tape was applied. 2– The rubber sealing washer or o-ring may be squeezed excessively tight causing leakage. 3– The nut may not be tight enough and water is simply coming through. 4– The drain pipe is off center and therefore a tight seal is not possible.

What causes condensation in a Rinnai air conditioner?
Perhaps it is the hot exhaust pipe that is forming condensation when it hits the cold intake air (in the Rinnai it seems the single vent pipe houses the exhaust pipe inside the tube that supplies the fresh air). Does that sound right or is this something I should get examined while it is under warranty.
