When I turn the 2001 S10 truck off a lot of water leeks from the front, and has been increasing. Is this a sign my heater core is going bad? Also might have a leek in the Cat converter. Would this cause it?

What part of front? Heater core is under dash. Radiator or water pump are closer to front of truck. Cat has nothing to do with cooling system other than possible overheat problems.

The truck run's all day when I'm working, and run's great. Both A/C and heater work great. No radiator problems for sure. When I turn the the truck off, even when not running the A/C or heater, it leaks excessively from behind the front right tire, all water only.

This water is a normal by-product of the air conditioner. Condensation.
