Default leaking diesel

I have 1999 F250 that has a leak underneath. After the truck engine runs for a couple minutes the leak starts. I crawled under the truck and found a piece of tubing with the diesel dripping our of the end. It looks like there may have been a tube attached to that tubing, but I can't find where. Can anyone help me?

Water separator off the fuel bowl... The new ULSD eats the O-rings up... You can buy a new separator from ford or just the o-rings online if you want to rebuild it.

The drain bowl valve may need replaced. I had a similar leak but mine was when I shut down and it sat for a little while. Once I changed the drain valve ($56 from the dealer) no more leak. At least not that I have seen.

If the o rings were gone it would most likely leak down back of block dripping from tube sounds more like valve is open but could be wrong

like others have said already, it is the water separator valve on the fuel filter bowl. The part is about $40 if you go to an autovalue store, or a little more if you are a die hard Ford guy and buy everything from the dealership. Fairly simple part to swap out, just a touch messy with all the diesel that will leak out when doing it. LOL
