I have a TLC 100 series Turbo intercooled which when I have the air on external and no aircon on I get condensation on the inside of my windscreen.
This isnt the 'normal' condensation that you would get when warm moist air hits the cold windscreen. This is definitely steam laden air that is coming through the system. In he right light I can even see te 'steam' swirling out of the vents
I am about to drop it into garage for them to
check it out and it's 100% that it will be a leaking/split/faulty hose either from the aircon or from the intercooler or from the radiator.
To help me 'get to the root cause quicker' can anyone suggest the most likely surce?

Where is the airflow selector set to, Windscreen, cabin, feet or feet and cabin.
does this "visible steam" aslo come from the other vents when selected, or just the windscreen only.
I find with my hilux ute, I can get a cooling effect from the a/c without the compressor being turned over by the motor. Not knowing how it works, but while moving forward, with fresh air seleceted, the air from the vents is way cooler than the air inside or outside the vehicle.
