My father thinks that I'm getting grease on my window from an antifreeze leak that is coming out of the defroster. Either way, i can barely see out of my windshield, i tried vinegar and ammonia, windex makes it worse, and dishwashing liquid worked well, but not well enough, any solutions?

I would do another washing or two of dishwashing liquid. And maybe try goo-gone? It's used to remove things like sticker residue, but it might help in this case.
Good luck!

Grease won't come out of an antifreeze leak it's comming from somewhere else. Grease is one of the hardest substances to disolve you could try a product called Greased Lightning or go to a hardware store and get an actual "degreaser" but I wouldn't recomend it on a car window. As far as windows go it's best to use a squeegie and push or pull the grease to the side. You basically want to wipe the film from the glass, if that doesn't work try an ice scraper or a putty knife.

The grease is one problem, but the source may be equally important. If it smells of coolant, but is also oily, you may have a head gasket leak (or a manifold leak, or any number of gasket/seal leaks). This is a destructive proposition for your car's engine. You may want to get that problem checked out.
