Water in Vacuum PCV Vacuum Line - 99 F 150

5.4 Litre engine. 251,000 miles but runs perfectly and was just tuned up. Until about a month ago the truck had been sitting up for about 2 years due to a bad rear end.
While driving today I noticed the smell of antifreeze. After looking for a leak I found water squirting from the vacuum line that goes from the PVC valve in the right valve cover to the connector on top of the manifold. The water was not under pressure.
What could be the cause of water getting into this line. Thanks

It sat for two years that's what. You no doubt have constant condensation and yes it makes water if it can't evaporate may be all that is. It won't end there if it was fine and just ignored for two years outdoors, rain and weather a list of things will be possible not just that. Check oil level now and change it for that and again soon. Do or check fuel if you should dump that or risk it? Brakes will be all messed up might or might not self clean with a few scary stops? Lots happens from just sitting even new cars - dead batteries, flat tires, water, brakes and have no miles to speak of are a horror,

I think you are mistaken about which line that was coming out of. There is no possible way for it to "squirt" out of a crankcase vent line but there are a couple of small coolant lines in the area that attach to the throttle body that may have sprung a leak.

There is no water in the oil. It is definitely a vacuum line because when I disconnect you can feel the vacuum and the engine begins to run terribly. I tried to send a picture but the system will not allow. The truck has been running beautifully for about 4000 miles after repairing a few problems initially.

This is a diagram showing the lines in question. The connection that is leaking is number 6C324. Also I have been asked if my truck has the coolant heated PCV system.

You weren't copying the right code. I fixed it.
Do you see those other 2 lines that intersect at the nipple (8A577 & 8A505)? They are coolant lines so I suspect you have an issue in that area.

Do you know what the issue might be? Bad connector, leak, etc.

I'm not there to inspect this but there is some kind of issue in that areas. Your coolant is coming from those other lines somehow.
