Alex, if you haven't already done this, you might want to check the hose while the vacuum pump is running, assuming the hose is between the head and pump. That's how I discovered a problem; I could hear and feel the leak which was causing the pump to run often and causing a smell.
Al, you're right, if the hose would have a leak that would create a lose of vacuum in the system and cycle the pump. However, mine doesn't cycle. But, it's a good idea to listen to the hose while the pump is engaged.
My setup is similar, hose runs under the floor along the port side. But no smell when I open the floor storage compartments....
That could be a "hint" that even though things "look" good I may still have something going on there.
