The problem is ether one of your pipes burst or it is leaking. My old car use to do that so I got a new one, but I recommend you call a mechanic he should fix it up quick and easily for a fair price.

I guess a burst pipe could be possible, but more likely the condensate drain is plugged up. There should be a small white pipe coming out the bottom to carry off the water. For every pound of natural gas you burn, the furnace produced 2 1/4 pounds of water. The condensing furnace condenses it, and it has to go somewhere.

Even if somehow the pipe is leaking, it should be a simple fix. So look over the job, and get back with more details if you need help. We have plenty of good people here that have helped people with far worse problems.
