My 98 Jeep Cherokee has smoke coming out of the vents, but nothing is noticable when I look under the hood. Most of the time it smells like antifreeze, but sometimes it smells like burning oil. If I turn on the heater, it is a total cloud of smoke. I checked the radiator and it was full but the resevoire was empty. The engine oil is fine. This problem doesn't happen instantly, it takes about 15 minutes; the car seems to be running fine. Any Ideas?

Hi there,

This is sounding like a leaking heater core, you will have to get the cooling system pressure tested with the heater on to test for this leak, start here.
