Default Dripping sound and long start

So i have this problem and was wondering if anyone has an idea to what it might be....
When i start the car it cranks but takes usually long to start then after starting i can hear a dripping the while the car is running but can't pin point exactly where.
If i take a short ride, shut off then turn back on...it will start rite up.
The car is throwing evap codes if that helps any.
Any ideas would be appreciated... thanks

What are the codes? Your long start from cold may be a simple MAF cleaning done with MAF only cleaner or when was the last time you did a fuel filter change?
