My Mazda3 has a leak… yay…
Well, the past couple days I’ve noticed a mildew/moldy smell getting worse in my car. I essentially don’t eat in my car and I only bought it like a month and a half ago so I was dumbfounded on what could be causing the smell. Eventually I made my way to the trunk and lifted the flooring of it to find that the scent was stronger, and the underside of said flooring was covered in mold specks (I should’ve took a photo of that) and then I lifted the tire and the bottom side was soaked and the weird ugly liner shown in the picture was/is too. I don’t really know how to go about finding a leak or what to even do now. Do I take it straight to the mechanic? Do I clean the liner and trunk flooring? What would I even use to kill the mold? I also have no idea if this is covered under the dealers free “limited warranty” and I would expect probably not.
