It will be the heater core. If you can smell it inside the car and it's steaming up the windows the core will need to be replaced. Remove the heater core housing and check to make sure its leaking from the core itself. You might get lucky and have a leak from the hoses running to core instead. Hope that helped.
Problem is in your venting..... more than likely the heating dial is not sending the signal to open the vent to allow the heat into your car.
Or if you are experiencing winter conditions, I would bet that you have a summer thermostat in your car and it is not allowing the engine to warm up properly to heat your car. You need a winter thermostat in your vehicle to get the heat out in the colder weather.
I had that problem last winter till the heater core broke and leaked all over the passenger side floorbord. Its cloged up (they just have a bad cooling system from what i know). The heater core is in the dash on the passenger side and will take some time to do it yourself. I bypassed mine but it made for a very cold winter! Putting it off may leave you stuck and makes a mess in the car thats not much fun to clean either. It poped 1 month after we started getting very little heat from it. Hope this helps you!!!
Are you loosing water from the inside of the radiator?...then it is a blown head gasket, or a cracked head/block. Is there steam coming out of the exhaust? Is the water dripping from the exhaust pipe and from the small factory hole in the muffler....then it is normal. Most likely, as every car with air conditioning, the evaporator core collects frost even in the summer and the A/C cycles to heat it, and melt it off. It is meant to drip through a small pipe, under the car, onto the ground. It is perfectly clear and clean water. It is normal functioning of the air conditioning. In the winter when the defrost is selected to clear the windshield, the automatic air conditioning produces cold dry air, which is then heated to clear the moisture. Frost collects on the evaporator core. The system cycles to heat it off from time to time and it will drip clear water in the winter when you didn't even know that the air conditioning was on. After all who needs air conditioning in the winter when you did not select it. The automatic system turned it on to dry the re-heated air to clear the moisture from inside the car.
do you have the car at running temperature,if you do check the temp of one heater hose to the other if they are not the same the heater core is plugging up.if they are the same that is the heat you should be getting inside
the valve that control the heat is run by a cable from your heater assembly is located out under the hood,follow the two heater hoses to the fire wall,you will see one hose has a valve in it,one position lets water flow,the other doesn't.
Sounds like your heater core, that's the only hot water/coolant in your car. The heater core is what gives you heat in the winter by the air flowing through the coils. It circulates the water that runs through the engine and will have a coloring to it. Its probably on the inside of the dash and is always a pain to fix. If you don't know much about cars your are gonna have to take it somewhere, or get a friend to bypass it, but then you wont have heat in the winter. :(
