It could be a leaking seal but my guess is the air conditioner. Some
people make use of Lysol spray and one poster recommended another product
that probably smells better than Lysol spray. On hot days--turn the air
conditioner on and adjust it so that it is cooling outside air. This
should also help in drying out the dirty stinking water (that has the wet
dog smell) from inside of the air conditioner. I do this on a regular
basis on hot days and no longer have a problem with bad odors coming out
of the air conditioner.

Re: Wet dog smell
 

turn on your air conditioner full blast and spray Lysol into the air
intakes. then drive around for twenty minutes. turn off and let dry
overnite.
