Your third brake light (mounted on the cab) is leaking water inside your vehicle, which is causing a wet, musty smell and potential mold growth along with staining. This moisture intrusion needs to be addressed to prevent further interior damage and mold issues. The fix likely involves resealing or replacing the brake light assembly and checking the weatherstripping around it.
