Answer 1

Could be possible that the heatercore is leaking inside the car. i would check for a wet spot on the upper part of the carpet under the passenger side dash. If this is the case you would need to get this fixed because it will only grow worse the more it leaks.

Answer 2

You almost certainly have a leaking heater core. The heater core is what provides the heat for your vehicle by circulating the hot anti-freeze from your engine thru the heater core that is located inside your vehicle. And if this heater core is leaking then you get steamed up windows and a strange smell inside your vehicle.

Answer 3

Take your car to a repair shop and have them check the heater core on your vehicle.. I owned a Chevrolet once that did that, cost about $100 to fix where I went.. Dont get the stop leak stuff at the auto parts store though, it only temporarly fixes the problem not to mention it clogs the radiator up..... Then you ahve even bigger problems than before..

Nicotine is harmless in itself. Overdosing is the serious aspect of Nicotine. Most smokers overdose on it. Any person of even low intelligence will know that consuming smoke can not be good for you whether that be tobacco or any other substance, smoke is not good. The smoking ban should be modified to allow pub landlords to decide on having a room for smokers or an all smoking pub with clear signs outside saying this. Then let people choose. I choose whether to eat in a restaurant with lots of light - not a serious matter but I will not use restaurants tat are lit up very bright. like low lighting and you would be surprised at how many are lit up like a xmas tree. This is me making a choice. Just as you are not forced to use a pub because of smoke.

Answer 5

It sounds like a leaking heater core. Check and see if the carpet is wet/damp on both sides the driver and passenger floorboard. If it is wet it is the heater core.
