water leak

well i have a water leak on my 03 Powerstroke 6.0. i have water in the valley but i cant see exactly where it is leaking. it only leaks if i leaf the truck sitting for more than a day or so... if i run it atleast once a day it does not leak at all.

any ideas of where it might be leaking?

Is this hose in your truck "blue" or "Orange"?

Good place to start.
