I understand you had a leak that's bluntly obvious in your original post. What I am saying is you previously didn't have a hole in that room right? There is now a space for vapor to escape from and it may just be a pin hole. Or an above fluid level hole in a line. Mine only smelled at night and early morning as a already stated. Mine was old galvanized pipe. House was built in the 50's and it looked original lol.
