Anyone know about an odor sensor that can be found? I have not really found anything obvious.

Odor sensors, probably more complex than desired.
Find chemicals and gases produced by the condition, there are numerous specialized sensors out there that can be read into a processor

Ok, I said it was a long-shot.

I vaguely remember hearing somewhere that the majority of foul smelling odors have one or more sulfur atoms somewhere in the molecule, I dont know if this is the case with bacterial decomposition, but it may be worth investigating.

Mercaptan is an odorant that smells like rotten eggs. It is added to natural gas as a safety measure to allow natural gas to be easily detected.
Here's a link that sells some common gas sensors:
