Fuel/water separator ???

So i dont really have a problem but i had a stripped out drain plug on the thing and i tapped on a t45 torx bit in it and got it out. The thing is, i noticed bluish fluid (fuel) comin out of the hole then i got out from under the truck. Then i checked in the bucket (i swear the bucket was empty) and all the fluid was greenish and at the bottom was four dime size blue bubbles, like fuel that sank. I have been using LucasOil fuel additive for like 6 months, but not the past few fill ups being winter time. and it had been about 10k since i drained the water. Anyone ever notice this with fuel additives?
