May be a cowl seal? But for the smell, take baking soda and sprinkle it only the carpets. Leave this sit for a little bit then vacuum it out. Use some dryer sheets under the seats to keep it smelling fresh.

I had a similar issue to this and it turned out to be a cracked rubber body plug under the seat. Mine only was wet after a rain though. If your car is wet all the time i would check the heater core. Definately would be leaking on the passenger side and would kind of make a sweet smell. If you turn your defrosters on high, it should blow a mist of coolant onto the windshield.
