Default smoke coming from air vents hellllpppp

I was driving today and I had smoke coming from the air vents inside my car. turn off the blowers but it still kept coming any ideas whats wrong???

Sounds like its leaking as mentioned above will have to be changed or welded if possible (dependent on location of leak)
