Default Coolant smell, blowing mist from vents

Hi, please help troubleshoot - just started happening this morning, 2002 Land Rover Discovery II, smell antifreeze, fogged windows, blowing mist from vents, moisture on left side passenger side floor. Recently had the air compressor replaced (3 weeks ago).

Sounds like a heater core issue.

I third that. The heater core is not super expensive but you have to take the dash apart to replace it and it's a pretty big job.

If you live in a warm area, you can bypass it in the engine bay as a temporary "fix".

Default Thanks for all the help

So, pretty much sounds like the heater core, my neighbor down the road is going to take a look. I don't live in a warm climate (MT), but the weather should be pretty nice for a while longer, so might see if I can bypass like Richard suggested until it can be replaced.
