This morning I was getting antifreeze smelling steam through the windshield defroster vents on the dash....very odd. Nothing leaking under the hood from what I could see. Anyone see this before?

Sorry to be the bringer of bad news but sounds like you have a busted heater core-not good news!

I figured as much. Didn't want to believe it though. Is it expensive/ PITA to install?

It's a pain...just drive the car into a big hole and cover it up...not really.

It takes some time to fix it but can be done. If you take it to a shop look at spending between 400 and 600 bucks.

yep.. the dash has too come out.. the way i do it is. i rlower the steering colum from the dash ( you will see 4 nuts holding it up. then with the console removed i swing the whole dash so i can get behind the right hand side. so the right hand side of your dash will be resting on the passenger seat.
