I have a problem with the defroster fogging the windows. I don't smell coolant, and can find no drips (using the defroster on manual and fan on high works a little). Am I looking forward to the horrible job of replacing the core? Previously (this summer when defroster was not needed), the fan was blowing out chunks of black friable foam and screeching during turns with the AC on.
