You really mean  a ejector pump don't you? If the  pump drains into the sewer main it's possible that I can cause back pressure if there's a partial blovkage,
Any bubbling in the toilet bowl?  Back to you.  Tom

It is not my house it is a friends, I replaced the wax ring in the down stairs because of a leak and then he told me about the smell up stairs

You can replace the wax ring but if that doesn't get it I'd snake from the pump on out.  Good luck,  Tom
