Goodman attic AC air handler (installed in 2021) keeps leaking/sweating water even after now 4 HVAC companies have checked it. Drain line has been cleared multiple times and even repositioned for better slope, but the issue continues. The newest company now says the evaporator coil is dirty and that it’s causing the water to not drain properly. Other companies previously suspected the coil itself may be failing and recommended replacing both the attic air handler and outside unit. The unit also isn’t level, and I’ve had similar issues with previous systems installed in this attic over the years. What do you guys think?

(Repost since my last post did not include an overall view of the whole system)

I have a 5-year-old Goodman system in my attic that keeps sweating/dripping water. Three HVAC companies have already cleared and re-sloped the drain line, but the issue continues. They’re now recommending replacing both the upstairs air handler and the outside condenser due to a possible evaporator coil leak.

I’ve had similar condensation/dripping issues with previous units in this attic over the years, not just this Goodman system. I also noticed the current air handler is not perfectly level. The AC still cools normally and I’m not seeing any ice/frost on the unit or lines.

Could a leaking evaporator coil cause this without freezing up? Or does this sound more like an installation/humidity/drainage issue instead?
