Apart from the turpentine smell I would suggest a smoke bomb test
where is the turps being poured down a drain Sponsored Links
So a small update here. I realised the house is on a block and beam footing and air flows under the house. There was a chamber built to house the soil stack and after recent building work the cavity seal had broken and opened. Smells we coming in with air flow as the main sewer runs under the garden about 10ft from the actual toilet.
I sealed it with some 'mud' /concrete and the air flow was stemmed and the smell departed. All good.
Having now had a new toilet plumbed in and the room painted the toilet room is smelling a little strange again but I am hoping this is down to the watered down gone off primer the Mrs used on the walls!?
