Half way reading through that I was expecting something like "they're charging me $350 to fix it!"

Glad they're doing it for free (they should be anyway)

If you smell sulfur inside of the car i would check your heater core to see if it is leaking. You would smell it through your vents if it is. As for the rotten egg smell from the outside that sounds alot like your cat. Might have alittle meltdown or something. You would definately hear an exhaust leaks if you had one. It would sound like a lawn mower. I hope i have helped you alittle bit to narrow it down.
