    Could be a dead animal under the cabinet flooring. Mobile homes are subject to the problem because they are fairly open underneath. I found a possum family under one.

    Hi Hugoagogo

    I'm wondering if there is an Air admittance valve (AAV) under the sink (see image)



    If you find anything even remotely similar to the picture under the sink then the AAV has failed and needs to be replaced.

    Check it out... post back with thoughts.
