2000 Dodge Dakota 92,616 miles

I just recently purchased my 2000 Dodge Dakota from a dealership. I have taken it back everyday since I had it to have things looked at. The one thing that is bothering me most about the truck is there is white smoke or mist coming out of the vents. It also smells like antifreeze. I have taken the truck to a local auto shop and they have told me that the heater core has a leak in it and may need to be replaced. The dealership where I purchased the vehicle are now telling me that there are no leaks but they can't tell me anything else. Is my problem the heater core?

Yes, it does sound like a leaking heater core. Has anyone had to add any coolant yet? They could be stalling until a warranty runs out or they just didn't put enough effort into finding the problem.
