Check for anything that may have spilled, or have died inside or under the hood. Car was fine until two days ago. Just a usual trip out of town, next day, just a terrible odor, like mildew, and something rotting.
trying to clean using A/C duct cleaner, but not too successful. Any ideas why the odor so sudden? And how to remove it?
thank you!

If the smell is coming from the duct work, you may have a dead animal in the heater core box, or there could be a coolant leak from the heater core. Is the carpet at all wet on the passanger side?
