    AC leaking from vent.

    Our AC unit is leaking from one of the vents. We live in Texas where it is super hot so it runs most of the time. Should we turn it off for awhile or call for help? We are new to home ownership so we aren't sure what to do. ANY help would be apprecaited!! Thank you! :)
