The only thing I can think of is that you must have the intake manifold full of a pool of gasoline, and it's running into the PCV line, and out the fitting behind the exhaust manifold. Have you tried starting your truck lately? If you do, you might find that it won't start because it's flooded.
Do you have an electric fuel pump on the engine? If so, maybe it's running even when the engine is off, and perhaps it is overpowering the float needle and pouring fuel into the intake manifold.
Or maybe you have your float adjusted too high, so that a little fuel is constantly dribbling into the manifold, whenever the truck is running. But then again, if that was the case, your engine would probably run badly.
These are just my suggestions.
