Default musky smell after it rains

Anyone have their car smell a little swamp-like after it rains? I checked the carpet for wetness, but its dry. I was told it's a leak, but where?

I have leaks in through the tail lights into the hatch, and as well leaks through the floor boards. It's a b!tch to pin-point leaks, trust me...I totally gutted my car (minus dash) just to locate them, and have yet to put the interior back in! LOL

Wet feet onto your carpet will do it. My 03 Pathfinder floor mats stink after it rains

The ones I have from the front go down through the A-pillar, down about half way, then drip onto the floor. The water collects were the dead pedal would be. Not every good seeing the ecu is right down there huh! I electrical taped up the bottom half of the ecu and the harness! You should see it, it's a regular mummy! LOL
