Common leak problem

Hi Doc, Hope you can help me, my refrigerator is leaking water all over the kitchen floor, I have moved it out and cleaned out all the build up, the water seems to be coming from the back. I can not find a tray for the water to flow in if there is one. The icemaker line has no leaks and the refrigerator is only 5 yrs old what is the common cause of water leaking from refrigerator, can I fix it or do I need repair man? The inside is working fine.. I would be most grateful it you could give me your opinion on what the problem might be.

You likely just have clogged drains. Anyway, here is an article from my book that may help. Hope you find it useful. I've attached the graphics from this article to this letter.

Attached the Section 5 article "Cleaning and Flushing the Defrost Drains".
