I've noticed an odd smell in my car for a couple of months. Sometimes it seemed like alcohol, sometimes like oil, sometimes like urine (ugh!). A couple of weeks ago I noticed the carpet on the front passenger side close to the seat is soaked with some kind of liquid that is slightly oily in nature, light brown, very pungent. That seems to be the source of the smell, but I can't figure the source of the liquid. I dabbed it all up as best I can, but it's back (and more of it!) Can something be seeping up from the car? It's not an oil from the seat, because it begins just beyond the seat, and it's not dripping down from anywhere, and I haven't spilled anything there. At least not this year! My husband assures me there's nothing mechanical that can be seeping up, but I'm so desperate I'm considering yanking the carpets just to get to the source. Any ideas out there? Thanks so much.
