Unique Smell from Air Going Through AC Blower

[EddieCabael]

Yes my Friend, CTScott

Please tell me if my idea is correct. If I am near to arrive in pinpointing the cause of my problem "Unique Smell from Air Going Through AC Blower". Let us presume that the work in my Air Box regarding the Cooler was done accordingly as my AC Cooling now is excellent.

In the AC Cooling System inside the Air Box, there is that Cooler and the Heater. What if the Heater has a leak --- because when I had the poor cooling problem, they may have concentrated to work only on the Cooler --- disregarding whatever is the part for the Heater therein and what about if there is air leak on the part of the Heater, would there be chance of accumulating dirt in it because of moisture --- if the AC Blower is on, is there any chance the air blower sucks that one (being accumulated dirt) that will come from the heater? That will create such a bad smell?

In Saudi Arabia, there is extreme temperature both Cold and Hot but in Jeddah Saudi Arabia where I am now, no body is using Car Heater including me.

Just for the purpose of checking that smell, I made set my Car Heater ON and the first blow of air inside the car using car heater is similar to my problem in question although that problem of mine for the unwanted smell, when it comes --- is more suffocating --- maybe because --- if there is accumulated dirt on the part of the heater and stuck through the AC Air Blower there will be chances for more suffocating smell as exactly the smell in question?

Best regards,

It could be the heater core leaking. If it were leaking though when you park the car you would find that the puddle under the AC condensate drain would not be clear water, but rather would contain antifreeze.
