Minimizing Odors

It's like a combination of smells - maybe mold and sewage (?), but not
rotten eggs or oil/engine smells.

Iow, it's a sour/swampy/sewery odor? If so, my money is on permeated
sanitation hoses. To make sure, wet a clean rag in HOT water...wrap
around a hose...use a clean rag for each section of hose. When the rags
cool, remove 'em and smell 'em. If you can't smell anything on the rag,
the hose is ok...but if you can smell the same odor on the rag, the hose
has permeated. New hoses are the only cure.
