replace the heater core, it most likely has a busted tube making the water heat and turn into steam whenever the heater or defroster is on. you may want to check the coolant level. after so long of the steam, or super heated water, escaping into the air duct system. you will obviously lose coolant level.

How do you fix heater core 2001 gmc sonoma?

It's hard and expensive and involves taking the dashboard apart. How exactly to do that I'm not sure. But if you're having the same problem I am - leaking antifreeze on your floors and steam coming out of the vents - then I suggest bypassing the heater core. Connecting the tube. Downside no heat or defrost. But it will stop the leak.

You have a vacuum leak somewhere. Check under the hood for a disconnected or broken vacuum line.


Odor coming from vent in auto when fan is turned on?

If its a sweet smell you may have a heater core leak and the fan is blowing antifreeze thru the vents. If its a moldy rotten smell you have mold growing in your vents. This happens when the moisture does not drain properly causing mold. You can purchase a spray at most auto parts store to kill and stop this and refresh your air vent system.

What could be causing the heater in a 99 dodge ram to not defrost the windshield but instead put down a very fine layer of oily stuff also the floor vents on the passenger side had some oil leaking ou?

I believe the heater core is leaking and the oily film you see on the windshield and on the floor vents is actually antifreeze. Don't know if the leak is small enough for STOP LEAK to stop it up, but it might be worth a try as a quick-fix.
