    My first thought would be a ruptured wax seal that's allowingsewer gas to enter your home.
    ... It seems to happen when the restroom or house get warm
    Sewer gas will stay close to the ground level when it's cold but will raise with heat so it will be noticed more.
    Does the toilet rock or seem loose? Check the wax seal first and let me know. Good luck, Tom
