I have a jeep cherokee laredo 1997 v8-- it has a problem with the temperature going above 210 and leaking water when the air conditioner is on (doesn't leak or run hot when the a/c is off). New water pump was put on, and problem still happening. What else could wrong?

I believe what you are seeing is the condensation from the a/c system-(normal) All cars "leak" water when the a/c is on.

And that is good news!

no, it's large amts of water and antifreeze (so much it goes below the fill line daily). Could something else be broken to cause the leakage just when a/c has been running?

Thats strange, or mis-interpreted.

If you drive without the a/c on for a week the anti-freeze doesn't drop?

If both fluids are leaking from the same place- the evaporator drain, then I would suspect the heater core. You need to pressure test it and see where the coolant is coming from.
