Hi-I posted this in General Discussion, but probably should have been posted here.  
  
 Briefly-I have an '04 acura mdx, and upon starting the car with the AC on a musty-mildewy smell comes from the ac vents (never did this until recently).  
  
 Changed the cabin AC filter and sprayed with lysol disinfectant-good for 2 days, but smell is now back.  
  
 Drain hose is draining.  
  
 Any thoughts?
