Condensation off of some part in left back of the motor

Just bought an 01 2500 4x4, 3.55, 87k. I've never owned a vehicle with a diesel motor. There is condensation coming off of a cyclinder in the back left corner of the motor. Not exactly sure what part it is and I just noticed it tonight. Any info would be great.

A/C Condenser is what you are talking about... Perfectly normal.

Most likely the A/C reciever drier. Mine drops lots of water from it.

Keep the AC off and see if it still happens.

If you're running the defrost the condenser will be running too, so shut that off if it's on. That's the way it is on my '03 anyway. In the summer you can water a small garden with what comes off of mine.
