    Default Condensation in hvac causing issues.

    Was doing routine monthly filters and opened the top part just to look around and see my furnace, I found a puddle of water. It's turning into rust and I don't know if this is a major issue.

    I watched during a full cycle of heat and saw it dripping out and onto the metal AFTER the flames shut off . I tightened the clamp but will I need to do more?

    I don't think so. In your first photo, the tube on the right side (which is the bottom) is supposed to have a condensate line on it. That is normal to drain back into the blower cover from the exhaust flue in the winter, but it needs a drain hose.
    Good Shooting, MarkCO

    The leak is still coming from the same spot. Going to take it off and make sure it was positioned correctly and try again. There is definitely no drain tube nor a place of exist for drain tube.

    I can see where the drain hose goes (black tube doing to black box, then out the side and into drain). Un hooked it from exhaust vent side and had water there. Blew thru tube and it seemed like it was clogged.
