Hmmm, the tools could be something. I asked my wife yesterday to walk through that area and smell. She smelled it, but was equally as confused about its origins or where it might be emanating from. It is in a general region but it's not obvious where it is coming from.

Clean-out pit in your floor drain?

You left a pound of hamburger and a couple of New York strips in the back of your car? I did that once, not good.😡

A friend dropped a latte in her car and didn't get around to cleaning it up for a week. Unbelievable stench. I'd have ripped the entire carpet out before even getting in the car. Even with the window open in winter, it was tough.

@HawkinsHollow I'd lean towards a long dead mouse, or an open drain somewhere, but smells can be tough to describe and harder to locate.

All the best, Peter

Any sewer lines or vents?

At work I have floor drains and traps requiring refilling periodically to prevent odor from escaping.

Otherwise something rotting?
We used to add some cooking oil on top of the water to slow evaporation.
