Default The old XJ is wafting a bit tinky

'96 XJ here and after a summer's worth of a/c use the old gal is smelling a little musty so i got some aerosol spray duct cleaner. Part of the procedure is spraying the alcohol mixture in through the fresh air intake grill. When I took the grill and wiper arms off to get a better shot at things I expected to find some kind of intake vent, alas there was none to be found. So I thought I'd write in to make sure I was in the right spot.

I'm guessing the corridor I found with the wiper motor in it is part of the intake system, and the vent I'm looking for is probably toward the passenger end. That sound right?
