No, you should never continue running your air conditioner if it is actively leaking water. Operating an air conditioner with a water leak means your condensate drainage system is compromised, blocked, or overflowing. Continuing to run the system will pump more water into the overflowing drain pan, leading to extensive structural damage, ruined drywall, warped flooring, and potential electrical short circuits in your air handler or attic framework. Verification: Turn your indoor thermostat mode to "Off" immediately and place towels or a wet-dry vacuum around the pooling water to protect your home.
