I agree. If the "fog" on the windshield is greasy, it is most likely coolant. If the "fog" just smells bad, it could be that the drain in the heater core plenum is clogged and you are pumping stagnant water from your a/c evaporator into your car.

Looks like I'll be replacing the HC this weekend on mine. Autozone had the core for $79, not to bad but as I understand, it is going to be a time consuming job.I have just styarted smelling antifreeze in the cab but floor isn't wet.I've never seen one smoke. Is the carpet wet?
