I have coolant vapour coming through the top vent near my front window into my car.Popped the hood as soon as i got a chance but could not see where it was coming from.Also coolant level was way down.Could have only happend in the last week cause i check everything on my car every week.Any ideas???Any help would be greatly appreciated.

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
