Default is this a sympton of a leaky radiator?

Every morning when I warm up my car(since it sits outside in ohio) there is condensation inside the car. I am having the air blend door fixed next week (for the 2nd time) since the car fogs up while driving. The recirculation button when clicked on does not increase or decrease fan speed, nothing happens. I was wondering if the condensation in the Am INSIDE the car was due to the moisure being circulated around the car, or if this is a completely new issue. Thanks for the help!

My car always has some condesation inside. I think it is most likely since I've checked all the carpets for moisture underneath and they're dry it is due to me having wet feet and getting in and out and the fact that the car seals so well there is no place for the moisture to go.
You could tell if it's the rad because you would have that rubber antifreeze smell inside.

Hi Guys

The damp may be caused by a soggy pollen filter - they get wet and sticky with blocked crud especially if the casing is not seated properly - it is located under the scuttle panel beneth the wiper motors.
UK members have found that cleaning it out and replacing the filter stops the condensation problems and for some gets rid of a musty smell too.
