Drips from the oil pan are typically from the weep hole in the water pump. Close inspection will usually reveal a stain from the hole.
Unplug your auxilliary pump if it's not working. A failed pump can take out the climate control amplifier.
I can't account for why the leak is only occurring when the climate control is used.
