I am assuming you are talking about the pans underneath HVAC units. This is a sign that condensate from AC evaporator coil is (or was) overflowing into the pan. Normally it should go into the main drain - the PVC pipe that runs from coil housing to sewer (usually the nearest bathroom sink drain). If the main drain gets clogged, the condensate overfills into the pan and runs outside from there - that's when you start seeing it dripping from the pipe outside of your house. This is a backup line that prevents attic flooding.

If the pan is rusty but dry while AC is running, I wouldn't worry too much about it. If there is a water in the pan then the main drain needs to be cleaned, which isn't very hard to do. There are many youtube videos explaining the process.
