That's usually the heater core leaking, especially the 'fog on the sindshield'[inside] part..

Well thought that was my problem. But its not, I removed my heater core and still has all those symptoms. The vents fronting your windshiled will let air into the cabin thus casuing window fog so I believe everyone else experiences that from time to time especially when motor is warm turned off then started back up again in the cold.

What you need to do is pressure test the system and find out where your leak is. I just did mine today and can't find a thing. went under my engine and saw a lil drop of coolant under my brnd new water pump. Still debating what to do.

Hey dude....update. I went under my car yesterday and found that the leak I thought was under the waterpump wasn't a leak at all but ......like dried up liquified RTV. Anyway, I started pulling on all my hoses from underneath. One hose I just touched and coolant came out of the clamp side to the waterpump. I went and changed the clamp after a good coolant bath. . I'm figuring with my stroker and cam and all, that would explain why I smelt it after reving it or runnin hot. Hope that it. The kicker is that my pressure would slightly drop with the gauge but I couldn't find anything, not even from that hose. But after the clamp change it was perfect. I don't see how it could leak without coolant coming out??? hmmmm. maybe aint it at all. Keep you posted.
