The only thing that really makes sense to me is your heater core suddenly started leaking.Is your carpet all wet?

Not usually the only thing in your dash that can make that steam your talking about that I can think of is your heater core leaking in your dash.I would have your cooling system pressure tested and checked for leaks.
