Default '95 GS300. Odorless, visible air coming out of A/C Vents

Hey folks, just recently, on my 129000 mile GS300, a odorless, visible air/gas, whatever.... started to come out of my A/C vents when my car was operating normally, as far as I know. I recently replaced the radiator with a OEM style replacement, about 500 or so miles ago. My heat control switch had some residue on it, and after cleaning it off, i found out it has a very tiny leak on it, and for 50 bucks, i would rather not fix it if its not that big of a issue. Anyone know what could be wrong with my A/C? Oh and by the way, I turned off my A/C and it still was coming through the vents, just a little bit.

Thanks
Sam

I have no idea what it is, if it was freon, wouldn't i be really sick by now? haha. I have never have had my A/C recharged. Someone i know mentioned it could be my heater core, but that person also said that i would be inhaling coolant... i think.

well if it was hot and humid, and your AC is good and cold, it'll blow a little condensation. If you want to check, put your hand in it and see if it feels like cold water......taste it if you feel brave.

Im going to drive it tonight, and its like 60 and the humidity is like 30%, so i'll really be able to test it for a 45 min drive. I've never noticed anything like this till just the other day, and i've had the car for almost 2 years so far
