Default help with car smoking?

i turn my da on today and drive it for about a hour. i get home and ran inside to get something so i left the car running with the windows up. i come back and my back windows are fogged up? [which they werent 3 minutes ago]
and in the front windshield looks like its condenced at about mid way on the right side of the front windshield.
and my check engine light was on.


i open my hood to look for smoke and it sounds fine and i see no leaks or anything, fluid is all good.
i just shut it off afterwards.

what could it be?

It sounds like you need to replace your heater core.

i know i have to do that,(due to the antifreeze on the floor right now.)
but would that justify all of the things happening?

ive been meaning to do a by-pass on it but ive been pretty busy with work and school.

Yes, that will cause the antifreeze on the floor as well as the windows fogging up.
