Heater blows smoke?
when i turn the heater on for the first time since the car has been running, or the heater has been off for more than 20 minutes, it blows smoke, more like condensation then smoke, it sticks to the windows and mirror. it only does it for about 1-2 minutes then it clears up. smells kinda like anti-freeze. could it be the heater core?

Yeah its the heater core. You can also check the carpet on the passenger side underneath the dash, usually it is wet or stained from the coolant.

Remember to wash the inside of your windshield when you're done replacing the core.
