I drove through a puddle of water with my car and now I noticed a funny smell inside my car. I checked under my mats and it was some what moist. Could it be that water leaked through when I drove through the puddle? My car is pretty low too.
My car has 71000 miles.

Hi there - while it’s possible that water intruded driving "over" a puddle, this seems unlikely in an age of quality, well-sealed cars. The immediate smell also suggests this is not water, but perhaps engine coolant leaking from the heater core (it would have a sweet smell). Check your engine coolant level, and if there is any question that you are losing coolant, I would recommend a coolant leak inspection by a mobile, professional mechanic, such as one from YourMechanic, who will come to your location, diagnose this problem, give you an accurate assessment of damage and cost estimate for repairs.
