Is the air hotter than ambient air temperatures?  If so, you may want to
check your cable adjustments to make sure your water distribution valve is
closing off completely.  If the air is ambient temperature make sure your
air flaps are closing completely.  If they are indeed, shut, but air still
gets by, you have a more serious problem.  The foam which seals the flaps
inside of your air distribution box deteriorates with age.  Here's a link to
a site that should give you an idea of what's involved:
