SOURCE: Antifreeze smoke coming out heater vents

depending on how bad, and how long the orginal core leaked, it might just be residue in heater box, and if it got up into the vents, it will take awhile for it to dry out.

SOURCE: need to replace heater core in 1993 buick. water

the core is under the middle of the dash - look in under hood - you will see 2 aluminum pipes going behind motor into firewall - these are a/c lines - close to this you will also see 2 black hoses about thumb size - these are the heater hoses to the heater core - the dash might have to come out to get heater core from a/c fan housing

SOURCE: How to remove the heater core from a VW GolfMK3

there are alot of hidden screws holding the dash in. there are some up across the top of the dash by the windshield and defrost vents. also when you open the doors there are some in there. it is quit a difficult job I really dont recomend doing it yourself but if your not afraid to try and feel confident enough to tackle it good luck. it would be best to have an experienced mechanic do the job but it will cost over three hundred for labor. if you do it yourself go to a parts store that sells haynes repair manuals they cost about twelve dollars and are pretty helpfull.

Testimonial: "Thanks for the advice, I will find a manual and if gives some form of help I will do it myself. If not I will pay for it to be done. Thanks."

Vapor comeing out of vents with heater turned off. smells like coolant not leaking on floor and not fogging windows up like when my heater core went bad 3 years ago and had it replaced.

Sounds like you have a small leak in the heater core. this is a small radiator that fits in the heating system to provide the heat in winter. It is an extension of the cooling system and therefore has antifreeze in the core. You may just have a hose leaking a tiny bit around the connetion.

Do you have coolant on the front passenger floor board? When heater cores fail it will leak onto the floor board and mist coolant on the windshield. If you have a loose clamp on the heater core hose it's possible it could be leaking down the firewall into the passenger compartment. If you don't have coolant on the windshield check the clamps / hoses first.
