Default Steam coming out of ac vents? What can it be?

Recenty my heater hose was leaking coolant and my car started to become hot. I fixed this my cutting the heater hose back a couple of inches and this fixed it.
Now, after a couple of weeksI have steam coming through my ac vent and the smell of hot coolant. I also hear the sound of a leak. What can I do to stop my car from over heating from this? And any suggenstions of what this could be?
