I believe the liquid to be antifreeze. It doesn't drip just fogs out of the openings. every 5 days I have to add water to the external antifreeze tank. approx 1/2 gallon. Thank you

I agree with the other two posts. Sounds like you have a heater core leak. I disagree with using any of the so called "stop leak" additives though. It could plug up some small coolant passages in the system, and in turn, cause other problems. Fix it properly. Have the heater core replaced.

Yup, it's the heater core. I just had to replace mine in my winter truck and I had the same exact symptoms. Only 'cause it's my winter truck, I kept putting it off...then the whole thing went, causing my whole truck to fill with smoke while travelling 65 mph down the highway (okay, maybe 80).
Anyway, you should just replace the whole thing. They're not too expensive and a relatively easy job. Took me about 1 1/2 to do it on a chevy truck.
Also, if you put it off antifreeze will leak into your cab and ruin your carpet. Found that out the HARD way too.

Sounds like you've got a leak in your heater core - could try a bottle of stop leak gunk that you just pour in, but may have to replace the core.

Your heater core is gone. Replace it right away. You could loose coolant pressure and fry the engine.
