    The air handler is leaking
    My unit is leaking and the outside drain pie is bone dry. I cannot find the tube or pipe from the unit out to look for a kink or crack or to see if it is clogged. Can I use a compressor to blow out any possible clog ?

    "my unit is leaking" on the floor or what? You're a coil should drip condensate into a pan under the coil but you must have the inspection door open to see the pan, have you done that yet?

    OK then your drain is plugged. Siphon off the water or use a turkey baster to get the level down. Drain is normally in the front corner and you'd see a pipe coming out through the side wall of the furnace. This pipe directly or indirectly drains to a floor drain, sink or condensate pump.
