You most likely have two clogs. The main drain (not the pipe that connects to the pan) is clogged. This one usually runs to a sink P trap in a nearby bathroom. The secondary drain which is connected to the pain normally drains to an outside wall or eave. I bet both could be clogged or partially obstructed inside the unit. Cut the pipes and install one of these on each and you can either use a shop vac to suck the unit piece out or blow it out towards the outlet side. PVC is cheap and easy to work with

Ok the main pipe with the opening on top. I sprayed my air compressor down it for a good minute. There is water dripping in it now. I can see it from above when I look down into it.
But the other drops are stuff coming down from the unit itself. Maybe it will take a little while for that to stop?

Well my problem is not fixed. Although I blowed out the pipe and I see water dripping down the main pipe now clearly. There is still water dripping out of the corner of the unit and another place in the center which happens to be caught by the pan.
What else could this be? Can I just get some flex seal spray stuff and spray the corner so it doesn't drip out anymore?

The unit may have shifted and is allowing water to pool in that corner. If so, it may take resetting the unit.
If this is the case, I would seal reseal everything that has mastic on the outside.

There's generally an internal tray/pan inside the evap case that collects the condensate/water and directs it to the drain pipe outlet. Sounds like there is blockage
preventing the water from getting to the outlet on the inside of the case.
Take the cover off and have a look inside with a flash light... it's not that complicated.
