It really does sadly. My poor '10 Versa got rear ended and repaired multiple times but the cumulative damage allowed water to seep into the undercarriage every time it rained. One could hear it sloshing around every time it had to stop at an intersection. The whole car started to smell like wet clothes left in a bag for a week. No amount of airing out, coffee grounds, Febreze, or air fresheners could get rid of the stench and I wasn't gonna keep showing up to work reeking of a waterlogged rag.
Luckily I made the switch to a cheap used EV back in February right before the Iran clusterfuck happened
Could you have drilled a hole at a low point where this water was pooling?
Not without knowing where it is exactly. I'm just as likely to drill a hole through an oil line than I would make a drain for the water. Parts of the frame were already starting to rust anyway. I don't wanna get a tetanus shot just to ride my car.
