In your car or house? House, It might be some fungi growing inside the duck. In your car, It's a dead rat! :)

There is a drain hole under the car that lets the water run out. This is located next to the firewall under the car. This hole or tube is probably plugged. Unplug this with a small screwdriver. As for the smell, you probably have mildew. Get a deodorizer from an auto parts store, (I had to use this on my Dodge as the previous owner was a heavy smoker and the a/c reeked of smoke) and follow the instructions. You will probably have to take the cowl off to get access to the a/c outside. the only other alternative is to take it to a shop and the process can be very expensive.

Chances are your A/C drain is clogged. As you use your a/c, the evaporator drips water, exiting though a drain hose out on the firewall of your car. Look on the passenger side for a little rubber hose on the firewall, spiders usually build a web in there, plugging the hole. Also, depending on whick kind of car you own, most newer cars have a cabin air filter, right hand side of the car under the hood, usually under the right side wiper arm. A little plastic cover lets you gain access to it, if that is plugged you will get a musty smell until fresh air is drawn through it. Check your owners manual for cabin air filter replacement, of to check if your car even has one.

Local auto stores sell a deodorizer/antifungle spray that you spray right into the fresh air intake. This works for cars as well as home a/c units. If this is a car be sure that you check and that it doesn't have a fresh air filter that needs to be changed. Any auto supply shop should be able to tell you cause they sell the filters.

This is a bacteria that actually grows in there. You can get the product you need at any NAPA auto parts store. You spray the whole container of this stuff in your air and defroster vents. Aw..just follow the directions, it's very easy and quick!

Olives are not pleasant.Maybe you should see if the filters (if there are any) are clean.If there are filters and they are not clean, clean them.(Obviously)If you can't find any problems inside it, call a professional.
