Rotten egg smell from underneath the hood?

Its in need of an oil change if that helps. Mods are listed in my signature. This smell hasn't always been there. Just stated about a month ago. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the replies guys. I didn't think about the batteries being the problem. The terminals aren't corroded and the voltage is always in the sweet spot. And havnt had a cat since I put the 4" mbrp on. I was thinking it was the rotella I'm running. I've been hearing the new formula that they have stinks to high heaven. I don't know tho, I'm kinda at my wits end
