Ok, There are two major Fridge makers for RF's. Norcold and Dometic
In both cases inside the fridge under the fins SHOULD be a pan, full width, solid bottom save for a funnel shaped hole that drips into a drip cup, this cup is connected via a plastic tube to the outside compartment.
On a Norcold it should rest in a cup on the outside (Evaporation cup) near the burner side of the fridge,,,
On a Dometic the tube is supposed to be extended out the vent so it drips, drips, drips on the ground.
IF the tube is not in the cup, or out the vent, then it drips on the bottom of the outside compartment.. This can cause issues with the electronics that live there, even if its only the connection board.
Same if the hose is broken.
It could also cause your leak.
