Small flooding in basement - water missed the floor drain

Noticed the floor in the furnace room was wet and a small puddle had soaked through the baseboard into about 2' of carpet on the other side of the wall.

Other than the floor not being properly sloped (50 year old home) I noticed water inside the furnace. It's been 80deg here so obviously last couple days the AC has been going. Is enough water probably 2 cups worth in the cabinet... I used the shopvac to try and un clog the drain tubes. Didnt see anything large come out.

Upon opening the hvac I found the bottom puddled and water dripping from the upper cabinet. Cleaned it all up - turned on the AC to see if it's still leaking and sure enough (maybe because of the vibrations) more water was dripping.

The pictures have the amount of water from maybe 30s of running. Ive also annotated them for details

I guess my question is - would this be residual water from a small leak in the cover+gasket (black part) or is the hole of the condenser cabinet leaking into the bottom one?

I will try and flush water through the drain tubes in the cabinet just to rule them out - but the one on the back of the unit is PVC and glued in so not sure how I can verify if that drain is clogged or not.
