When the AC is turned on a almost translucent white mist sprays out of the vents. What could this be? Freon leaking from evaporator core or heater core into the dash?

Hello,

This could be a problem with your receiver/drier of the Air Conditioning system. The main purpose of this component is to remove the moisture from the air conditioned air. I have included instructions on how to remove and install the receiver dryer on your vehicle in the diagrams down below for you. Please get back to us with how everything turns out.

Thanks,
Alex
