Default possible radiator trouble

my anti freeze seems to be evaporating...I think it might of been just the water inside because their is no visible leaks...on the inside of the car though my windows fog up really bad when I turn the heat on without any clearing and a buddy of mine was telling me that there could be a connection between the 2...is this possible? I have a 90 lx 5.0 maybe this common among this car...please send me your inputs

Think of it as a mini radiator thats located behind your dash. When you turn your heater on it will blows air through the heater core - which has coolant flowing through it. There are two hoses that go into your firewall on the passenger side that go to you heatercore. In the meantime, if you don't care about not having heat, you can remove them from the heatercore and splice them together under the hood to bandaid your problem. To replace the heater core you will have to pull your dash out, or at least mostly out far enough to swap it. Its an all day job for a first-timer. On the bright side though, they not expensive
