Sometimes when I drive my car, I get a rotten smell that makes your eye's shoot full of tears, but that's usually when I had a bowl of beans the previous night...
oil left inside the exhaust system from when the engine was in a bad state.
I ask a buddy of mine about this. He said you should advance your timing to get the moter to backfire through the exhaust to burn it clear. (Just a thought)

perhaps a rear main oil leak onto the exhaust??
My UTE also had a bad smell when the rear crank seal started leaking, it was a result of oil dripping on the branch manifold.
