Hypothetically speaking, what happens if stinky fluid gets down the Inlet vent?

Hello! I’m just asking this for shits and giggles, on most vehicles there’s an “Inlet Vent” that circulates air through the cabin of the vehicle. It sits under the windshield right under the windshield wipers on cars. My question pertains to vehicles of the 1970s model…

Mechanics, what would happen if a stinky fishy liquid… perhaps salmon / tuna juice were to get dumped down said vent? Would it affect anything in the cabin of the vehicle? Or would it drain out and do absolutely nothing?
