If a rodent has been there once, either he or one of his friends WILL be back. Rats and mice leave 'scent' trails as they travel as a way of letting other rats know where to go for food and/or shelter.

Traps will do nothing. Moth balls as a repellent is an old wive's tale.

Get an empty spray bottle from a hardware store. At the grocery store, find the absolute hottest hot sauce you can find. You want the stuff that will ignite buildings. Mix a small amount of hot sauce with water so that the consistency is such that a spray bottle will be able to spray it. Open your hood, and lightly mist your entire engine bay and aprons, paying particular attention to where you're seeing evidence of infestation. Repeat this once per week for a few months, and eventually they'll give up on your car and move to another.

I work in an industry that deals with this on a VERY regular basis. Good luck.
