When you say you resealed it- what did you seal? On most units the condensate runs out between the bottom of the unit and the roof, so if you seal the edge of the unit, you trap the water in.

Most common is drain holes plugged- I have a page about leaks at http://bryantrv.com/roofacleaks.html which should help.

If you used calking to 'reseal' the AC it's possible you blocked the route the condensation water takes to drain off of the roof.
