Hey Guys,
I bought a new '94 mustang GT a month or so ago. The owner had the entire cooling system and clutch replace less than a yr ago. Everything is/was great.
I had used the heating system a bit on some cold nights/mornings, but being "summer" there has been no real need most of the time. I noticed that my windows were "fogged" one morning, so I went to clear these off, and it didnt really work, the pattern just kinda stayed there.
So a few days later I was sitting at a light, and I see "smoke" comming from under the steering column, aside from almost ****ting myself, it turns out it was comming from the floor vents, and the "fog" wasn't condensation, but it had to be wiped off.
This only started happening after I had soem work done on my car (new stereo, and alarm installed) so at first I thought it may be a wire getting hot or something.
Today I noticed that a small amount of coolant was leaking onto the mat on the floor when the floor vents and heat was turned on.
It appears this could be a heater core issue, but if the coolant system was replaced then this shouldn't be an issue?
Please lemme know what you think and what should be done about it?
If it's just the heater core, I should be able to get one (they are fairly cheap eh?) and install that no problem.
Thanks,
