vent blower steam / smoke

Recently, when I start my 82 f-150 in the morning I notice a smoke / steam rising from the defroster vents and fogging the windsheild. If I turn on the fan, it seems to get even stronger although after a coulple of minutes it seems to go away. I've been driving with the windows down usually.
Also, if my windows windsheild starts fogging, when I turn on the defroster it doesn't defog it - just blows air.

I don't have any exhaust leaks under my hood. What's going on??

Your heater core is leaking. Better get it changed before winter.
