my 99 durango has started fogging from the interior vents. when the a/c is on it blows a thick fog out of all vents. it is so thick you have to open the windows to see. if i move the temp control to warmer it immediately stops fogging. i am leaning towards either a plugged drain i cant find the drain or a leaking heater core. the fog has a pronounced oily feel and a slight anti-freeze odor. any ideas thanks in advance for any info. heater core. roy tbone wrote wouldnt a failed heater core also include the smell of anti-freeze in that fog he said there was a slight odor and an oily feel. i cant think of any other thing that would do that. i think id loop the heater hoses and do a pressure test on the core before ripping into it. -- ken .
