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???
I went under the bonnet and all seems fine there I was thinking the heater thingy has gone behind the dash, I hope not though coz its a bit cold to be changing that this weekend!!

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