you are leaking anti-freeze in your heater core and blowing the steam onto your windshield

Heater core leak.
you may have a bad heater core
Have you checked the heater core?

A small crack or tear in one of your hoses?

Lose connection or hose not tightened properly?



I would drive the car for a bit, but not to the point where it over heats, then park it and wait. Check under the car and see if you can find any anti-freeze on the ground.
There is most likely a leak in your heater core and your vehicle is low on radiator fluid. Do you smell a sweet smell inside the car as well? I would bring it to a shop and have them pressure test the system to diagnose exactly where the problem is.
You may need to do a flush of your cooling system. If it removes the blockage or build-up in the tubes of your heater, that will fix it. If the blockage has set up permanently, you may need a new heater core.
