The problem is most likely a leak in your heater core.  This would cause
a small amount of coolant to collect in the housing and come out as a
rather slimy steam whenever the heating system (or defroster) is turned
on.  If the housing is not perfectly sealed, some of the coolant would
leak out onto the floor.  This shouldn't be expensive but it will be a
royal pain getting the heater housing out from behind the dash.

Godd luck!
