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

No bubbling

I bought 2 wax rings should I replace the up stairs one too?

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