W210 slight interior smell - musty? oily?

2002 W210 E55

When closed up and A/C running hot summer days I sometimes get a slight oily/must smell. Anybody else?

First check the dust filters and then the charcoal filter. If they smell fine either your evaporator housing isn't draining properly or you've developed a leak in the evaporator and you're smelling the refrigerant/refrigerant oil.

Is the A/C still performing as good as it used to before the smell??
