Condensate dripping from BELOW main drip pan into secondary pan.
I was checking my AC unit because of a bad smell and noticed condensate dropping from the bottom of the main condensation pan, into the secondary pan. It is not filling up the main pan. There is no clog. I assume this is not normal. What could this be caused by?

A cracked or rusted primary drain pan, a dirty coil, ice, a partial primary drain restriction, or cold air leakage under the plenum would be some things to verify or disprove.

You would have to remove a side panel to see the internal drip pan.
It is not filling up the main pan
If it's not..... there may be a vacuum created when the unit is running and not letting it drip straight down into the primary pan.
