Funky smell in a car?

Question

I have a 2000 Cadillac Seville that has a funky smell every morning.  There is nothing in the interior that I can find to explain it.  I have heard that you can get a clogged drain line where water runs off the windshield under the cowl and it can get stinky there, but I can't find a drain anywhere under the hood.   Any other ideas?  Would flushing the heater core be effective?

Check your manual or take it to an oil change place. You might have a CABIN FILTER in it. These can get old and cruddy. It happened to me in my escape. I Just took it out. but you can replace it.

i recently had my heater core flushed cause the heat was not working so well.  i did not notice any type of smell before or after the flushing.  the heat works great now.  so i doubt the heater core would be the cause of the smell, but it might be a good idea to have done anyway.
