My a/c is not draining properly...

...and it's not a clogged drain!
I am having water pool up sometimes in my vents, but mostly on the floor of the unit, which eventually leads it under my linoleum. I checked the drain first off, and it was fine so after further inspection there was some rust on the a-coil pan, so I thought I had a pin hole or some leakage there. We replaced the A-Coil and replaced that cheesy flex drain with 3/4 inch PVC with a trap. Same problem. The water appears to be coming over the lip of the pan on the interior of the A-coil but there is not enough water in the pan (it appears to be draining properly) for me to think that it is overflowing. Next step was to install a new Coleman with an enclosed cabinet. So now I have an entirely new 3.5 ton system on the inside (outside unit was replaced a few years ago 3.5 ton 13 seer rheem). Still have a ton of water in the cabinet and draining under my linoleum. So, what do I do now?
Thanks,
