Hot water leaking on my foot (gas pedal) along with a sloshing water and sizzling noise.

The water noise is always there, but it seems like the water is only coming out (onto my foot on the gas pedal) when i turn right. There is also a sizzling noise when i turn right. This all only happens when the defrost is on, but as soon as i turn it off my windows fog up instantly??

Sounds like your heater core is leaking. Or the hoses connected to it.

SOURCE: Frost on inside of window

your heater core is probably leaking.....this is a big job to fix you'll probably want to take it to a shop to have this done as the complete removal of the dash is necessary
Good luck.........thanks for choosing FIX YA!

SOURCE: winshied gets fogged up when defroster is turned on?

If your loosing coolant it's probably got a hole in it, and a pressure test should confirm that,but if your not, locate the drain hole for housing and make sure it's cleared out to allow moisture in ducting to drain. They are normally located on or near firewall under hood close to where the back of heater would be. Use a piece of coated wire or similar & poke it in there, but not too hard, and see if you get some liquid flowing out.

SOURCE: Defrost and Heater causes windows to fog

If it smells like antifreeze, and leaves a film on windshield, it's probably a leaking heater core, but if not, your drain tube/passage for heater/AC duct-work, is plugged and not allowing moisture to drain out. Not 100% sure where drains are on that but, I would look real close at lower firewall in engine compartment,opposite duct-work, as well as under truck near front floor, for tubes sticking out, and carefully and gently, run a pipe cleaner or similar in & out to clean, until moisture starts to run out.

SOURCE: have 1999 dodge durango, replaced the water

Is your coolant level going down, on a regular basis, to the point that you need to add some periodically? If not, then lets say it's not heater core for now, and that dripping that you see on passenger side may be the drain tube from the heater box. Try to pinpoint exactly where that drip is coming from, and if it does look like a drain tube, try poking a pipe cleaner or something similar in there carefully to dislodge whatever may be clogging up that tube. My guess is that it's plugged up and that's what's also causing fog inside vehicle. Once that's drained out, things will dry up and you should be back to normal with a little luck. If your not sure about whether or not core is leaking, have a rad, or repair shop, perform a system pressure test, and that should tell you whether or not you have a system leak, then you can investigate further if necessary.

2008 Pontiac Grand Prix

It sounds like you have an air bubble in the heater core. Try parking front upward on the steepest hill you can find, and run the engine hot, with the heater control on full, for about 5 min. That may shift the bubble out.

Hot water leaking on my foot by the gas pedal

It`s most likely the heater core. If you can smell antifreeze and your windows fog up,it`s very likely the heater core.

Loud clicking noise and black smoke...

Seems like an injector and valves. Check if all injectors are giving same pressure, none leaking or damaged, the injector pump working fine and all filter in the pump are clean (yes there are small filters inside under every electro-sensor), get valves gaps checked and adjusted. at this kind of mileage its a must.

I hear water sloshing around behind the glove box area. I hear it slosh like its cycling when I accelerate? I think I have a gasket leak in the heat maybe, but I have not seen any white smoke? The truck...

Sounds like the sloshing noise is water in the a/c-heater box. The drain is probably plugged. I don't think the sloshing noise is causing the ragged running problem.
