I have a 6 year old hotpoint mac-90 portable air con. It has been fine until now, where water leaks from under the unit and not collected by the designated water tank where I usually empty after it gets full. Can anyone help?
Look for a crack on the water tank or a dried up gasket on the tank. Loose hose clamps can allow a leak as well.

Make sure the drainage port is closed as per the instructions. If you continue to have leakage you may have a leak in the tank.

You need to blow out the drain line where it hooks up to the pan and clean out the drip pan. It doesn't matter how clean you keep the filter, that's just to keep the evaporator coils clean, which is important in itself. But algae will grow in the drip pan if it is not tilted to drain correctly and will clog up the drain line. If you put a level on the top of the unit, the bubble should JUST BARELY break the line on the OPPOSITE side from the drain outlet on the pan. Hope this helps.

The base needs to be dumped regularly. The air conditioner sweats water during operation and the pan collects it. Your manual should give you the procedure on how this is done. In some cases there is a hose attached to the drain pan so that you can direct the drainage to a more conventional drain location.
