    When I have my heat on in my forester It blows smoke/ I don't know what into the car. it smoke a little under the hood to. I'm taking it to the dealership tomorrow unless someone in duluth has a garage and wants to look at it. Time isn't really an issue because I never drive anymore.

    it didn't smell like just coolant. I'm really not positive its the heater core. I missed my apt at the dealership today and being I don't drive more than twice a week now I don't know what to do. I'll probably try to bring it to them tomorrow to get a quote
