Probably two problems. The smoke is most likely oil from an engine problem. The sulfur is the catalytic converter bad. The oil plugs the converter making it run hotter and putting out more sulfur dioxide.
your catayltic converter is bad and needs to replaced
I feel these are unrelated but you can investigate a leak in the hoses leading to the heater core as they maybe leaking onto the exhaust pipe, that would produce white smoke, but not from within the tailpipe exhaust. Water and oil leaks will produce white smoke the smell will help you determine which it is.
Propane has been given a sulfur-like smell for leak detection.
you have a blown head gasket
What color is the smoke? Black - running rich. Bluish - buring oil. White - burning coolant. When you smell the gas, it is inside or outside the minivan? Back of the car or near the front?
It could be running lean. Check the fuel filter. It could also be a vacuum leak or the EGR valve. It would probably be a good idea to not run it much until you've worked out the problem. There are quite a few possibilities, and some of them are not very expensive, but if the exhaust manifold is getting that hot you could be damaging your exhaust valves. If the exhaust manifold is glowing, it's not the cat-converter.

The carburetor needs calibration or changing of possibly defective part, for example, gasket or needles.
My understanding of exhaust smoke is that Blue is oil, Black is unburnt fuel, White is unburnt diesel on cold start. The main question would be, how much smoke and when does it do it?
Blue exhaust smoke is burning oil.
