Can an air conditioner leak create enough water to flood part of a basement?

Filed Under HVAC 

schneiderbs asked:

I have water in my basement. I am trying to determine the source. Two possibilites: my foundation or my piping coming from my air conditioner. I have a theory that there may be a leak in the piping coming from the air conditioning unit causing water in the basement. I do not have a lot, probably about two gallons every day. Is it possible it is coming from my air conditioner?
