Two things come to mind:
1) since this is the first time you tried your heater recently there might
have been some water that had found its way into the heater and the heat
caused it to vaproize and then condense on the windscreen, and
2) your heater leaks. These heaters are really robust and will tolerate
much more than a modern heater but they will still leak. If the steaming
continues then I would have to say it is #2. But since the heater is made of
coper coils it may be repairable.
