There are rubber grommets that should be installed where your wiring etc passes thru the firewall or floor. Perhaps yours are old, brittle/broken and need replacing. An application of RTV may also help seal out the smells. The insulated firewall cover I went with was marked where holes would need to be punched. A hole saw works best for the ABS plastic or fiberglass but not the insulation material. For this you will need a very sharp knife or razor blade.
