Defrost water would usually occur every 6-12 hours (depending on how its defrost timer was wired and how much the fridge was running) as it automatically defrosts.
** when we press on the roof of the refrigerator near the "vent" more water spills out. **
That could indicate a problem with the insulation block between the fridge and freezer compartment. It is common with the age of your model. There is a repair kit (see the link below) to correct it and also occasional freezing closed of the defrost water drain but is a fairly large job.

(The kit should include installation instructions.)
If needed it might be worthwhile to have done if you could do it yourself. Having it installed by a technician might not be worthwhile for that age of refrigerator.
