A gas smell has a rotten egg odor due to a chemical gas companies use to make gas leaks easily detectable. A dead animal smell is caused by bacteria and fungus as that form as the body decays.
it leaks oil.
Natural gas and propane are odorless ijn nature and highly flammable. Companies put a obnoxious smell into the gas specifically for in case it leaks so that anyone in the vicinity will know there is a gas leak and take the appropriate action
