Is it leaking water into the room, or just out the back?

If into the room, the air conditioner is either not tilted in the window properly (see image below) or the drain tube going from the evaporator (cooling) coil to the back of the unit is plugged.

If it is dripping out the rear, that is normal. While the rear fan blade picks up this moisture and throws it onto the hot condenser to evaporate and aid in cooling, during very humid periods too much moisture can accumulate to be eliminated this way resulting in any excess overflowing the unit's base and dripping down.

Thank you, I had to tilt the AC.
