In cases I have seen the air flow is restricted because of a dirty condenser coil and it is either icing up or close to it or insulation is missing in the cabinet. It shouldn't be sweating. This is when you see mold/mildew build up. I have also seen it with a few closed off vents and all that air flow is trying to push out the remaining open ducts. You have to have balanced air flow.
