"smoke" from the vents
When the AC is on, there is some white smoke coming from the vents.
Does this mean the freon is leaking? but isn't freon clear? Could this be coolant from the heat core? This is for a 03 Rav4. Any ideas as where I might start looking?

I would say that it's just condensation.

I agree with CLK,, if it were leaking freon..you wouldnt have cool air. If the air inside your dwelling is warm and moist, you will see 'clouds' when the air-con is on. I was on an airplane recently travelling to Thailand, and saw the same 'cloud' you are seeing. Air-con actually removes moisture from the air..so...when the windows in your car fog up...by turning on the vehicles air-con...the moisture inside the cabin is removed, and the windows clear up. I wouldnt be concerned about what you are seeing at your place.

Our cars all do that when it's very humid. It's condensation, not smoke. No worries.
