Hmmm you may have be special enough to have had your heater matrix blow... either that or some of the interior piping may have gone.

oooooooooo ive got that! but i think ive blown my head(s) exact same symptoms.... the vapour was caused by the resevoir(?) water being boiled.... coincidently, right next to the passenger side air duct

Ooooh my bad, coming from the external vents? I'd get a pressure test done on your cooling system... see where the problem is, maybe blown head gasket

mine is coming from the internal vents,seemd to be boiling the coolant or there is a cracked pipe that is leaking it to the vents.Will have a more indepth investigation tomorrow
