Fogging on the inside of the windshield combined with a smell of antifreeze could indicate a coolant leak, potentially from the heater core. When the heater core leaks, coolant vapor can escape into the cabin, causing both the fogging due to moisture and the distinct antifreeze odor. This situation not only affects visibility while driving but can also lead to further engine issues if left unaddressed.
