More than likely it's the drain valve o-rings. Those really caused a lot of problems when ULSD first came out. Sounds like your truck is a "late bloomer".
Here's the o-ring specs: Type: Viton Width: 1/8" ID: 1/4" OD: 1/2"

Have fun.

For ease, remove the "Powerstroke" cover.
Locate that yellow valve handle at the side closest to the firewall. This is the drain valve. Remember how the pieces are oriented for later re-assembly. Better yet, take a digital picture. There are four #20 Torx screws holding the valve to the filter body. Using the driver socket and ratchet, remove the four screws. Using a toothpick, pry the two little yellow o-rings out of where they fit. Replace them with the two you bought. Lube the threads on the four screws. Re-assemble and check for leaks. Replace the Powerstroke cover.
