I have not noticed, but unfortunately, if the main AC unit is leaking for me, I am sure I will have a lot of water damage before I notice, as there is no plenum inside...just the return vents offset.
Now, they way the AC is installed, I would imagine there is a chance that rain could seep in past the seal, as mine is lag bolted to a wood frame...I can only imagine that it will pull loose over time and the seal will allow water to seep over time. A project of mine in the future will be a way to figure out how to tightly mount the unit to the roof (compress the neoprene seal).
Another spot you could have water...a small tear in the roof membrane. When I pulled the middle unit to tape up the duct and air box, I noticed a tear in the roof membrane. It looked as though the AC was set down corner first on the roof. Cleaned up the area and put a piece of EternaBond tape over, good-to-go now.
