Dripping Water after Engine Shut-Off

I have a 1999 F350 7.3 truck and when I shut off the engine I get a small drip of water (not antifreeze or oil) for about 20 seconds and then it stops. It's coming down from the passenger side somewhere under under the wheel well back around the firewall. Everything in the truck appears to be running normal and all fluids are at normal levels.

Any ideas?

You will also get this when you use the defroster.

Sounds like condensation from the A/C. I can't believe nobody mentioned that yet.
