Default Water leak

I'm stumped on a persistant water leak coming from what I think must be the fuel filter ( silver can with hoses coming out). Weird thing is that it only happens after I shut the engine off. I've checked the coolant level and it's fine. The leak seems to water and not coolant. It doesn't leak with the engine running and the air conditioning on but within 5 mins of shutting it down, there is a water puddle under my truck. BTW it's a 02 2500HD with new headlights and new tires. Pls help!!!

I don't understand how there can be a water leak from the fuel filter...there should be nothing but fuel coming out of those lines! That seems very odd. If there was any water it should only be coming out of the Water In Fuel seperator that's at the bottom, but that is bled manually...
Hopefully 2500HeavyDuty will jump in.

Sure you are not refering to the ac accumulator??? Silver, one hose going through the firewall, the other to the top of the ac compressor?
