Does anybody know the early symptoms of a leaky heater core??
I have a 1994 850 turbo and I have some hints to something and I think it
maybe the heater core. First
the window always gets this film right where the defroster blows on the
vent... When the cold A/C is on I get this smoke/steam out of the vent my
coolant level is going down and I cant find any leaks. and last I have this
funny smell it may or not be antifreeze but its close (smells more like the
chemical used in dry-cleaning)

Check the drain for your AC; it might be clogged, causing mold growth
and odor. Or, you might find coolant dripping out of it...
