It was semi chilly this morning so I decided to turn on the heat. Halfway through my ride to school I noticed white smoke was coming out from underneath the glove box. I switched the direction of the heat to feet and the white smoke went away but I'm still sketchy as to what happened. When I got to school I did a quick check of the passenger side and I see a small puddle at the top left front underneath the glove box. When I touched it looks red but I'm not sure if its a leak or not? Any ideas would be much appreciated. Thanks.

I would image that is probably the heater core,and the red liquid is antifreeze 0_0....i would check your antifreeze level, and see if you can find where the red liquid came from..

Unfortunately SpuraKid is correct and it’ll get worse. If you keep diving it with a heater core leak it’ll coat everything with the oily antifreeze mist not to mention your carpet. If you have to use your defroster it’ll coat your windshield and top liner!

Not necessarily, just find a 6gc in a yard and take the core out of it...(i would research to see if the ST and gt core is the same)
