it's just condensation, don't worry, it'll go away. If your AC smells, you need to use it more

I have heard of small animals getting into the fresh air ducts and dying.
One thing I do that helps eliminate possible odor build up, is just before you get to your destination, turn off the AC and let the fan run.

AC creates moisture (Look under the car after parking, after using it) and you need to blow out the moisture.

Moisture+dark places= mold and mildew=nasty smells.
