Suppose it could be. Is it dark or murky water like it came from inside the flue, or relatively clean like rain / snow leaking in -or is rain/snow even a possibility based on your local weather? If the flue is assembled in the proper manner so the crimped ends form a funnel which diverts any condensation back inside the pipe? If they're backwards, the pipe will leak.
