Smoke from vents, and windows fog up. 850

Though one is tempted to suspect the infamous evaporator (big job) or heater core (much easier), the fact that the problem occurs on only one side makes me suggest a look at the ductwork under the dash. Passenger side is probably pretty easy to get at - drop the glovebox out of the dash and see if there's a blockage or if it's somehow come apart.

Does it happen when the heater is off? (would indicate possible heater core problem.) When the a/c or defroster is on? (indicative of an evaporator problem). Try all combinations.
