   I had this problem on a preowned Subaru, worse on recirculate. I bought   
   a can of Ozium, its a glycolised antibacterial aerosol, supposedly used   
   in hospitals :-)  Put the a/c on recirculate, find the intake and spray,   
   you don't need much, it killed the smell and maybe hopefully the nasty   
   goop that collects on the cooling fins. Never had the problem come back   
   in 4 years so I guess it worked, but I think the problem comes about   
   from short runs where the cooling fins get all damp. You can get it in   
   Walmart, I think it was in the Auto section, I bought the non fragranced   
   variety, hate smelly car deodo's, but it comes in several flavors if you   
   want it.
