Default propane heater odor?

A phone call from my aunt had her telling me that she thinks
there's an odor from her propane heater. The odor is slight and she's
not even sure it IS from the propane heater, but it seems to be in that
area.
She describes it as a "rotten egg smell" and she "thinks" it's
from the heater, but said "Maybe something crawled into the woodwork and
died." She had the heater serviced about a month ago and all was
apparantly well then.
Until I can get over there, can anyone offer any ideas on this?


The smell of 'rotten eggs' has me on alert. CHT. Sewer line gas and it can
be deadly in concentration as any Navy person can tell you. Her heater
would be near the waterlines and might also be near the connection to the
sewer system? In my house, thats on the other side but they can be together
(meaning same side and closely run) in some other places. If it's in a
garage and the garage has a window, have her open the window until it can be
checked.
