The area inside the "aquarium" (That area under the plastic cover in front of the firewall) is notorious for acquiring noxious odors. Leaves and debris falls through the the drainage gutter at the back of the hood and are supposed to drain out through tubes at the bottom; usually they do a great job of clogging them up. Air for the ACC is drawn in from this area through the air filter which is located on the passenger side (US). It's quite easy to get to, but a little tricky to get the drains open and the junk cleaned out. As Lu said, it's also a good time to check out/ replace the filter. It may also be a good time to try RoCo's suggestion to spray in some disinfectant and clean out the airways.
HTH!
