What does seepage at the hose connection indicate?
Also, is it common for condensation to drip after driving the truck and turning off the engine?

Hi there,

Just make sure that all the hose clamps are tight, if it has spring clip type clamps, replace with worm drive type check that the hose connections are not corroded as this will also be a reason that the loses can weep, where is the condensation coming from?

The dripping of condensation is coming from the passenger side - underneath the car.

Hi there,

This sounds like the a/c drain tube, the A/C system will dehumidify the air and excess moisture is drained away via a tube under the car.
