Don't know if this will apply to your situation or not. I had a bathroom wash basin that gave off an odor when the water was running. I sprayed a lot of "Scubbing Bubbles" into the vent hole at the front of the basin. After 5 minutes, this was followed with water squirted from a squeeze bottle to flush it down the drain. Odor was then gone. Look for a hole, probably somewhere on the side of the shower stall, that could be the vent. Run the shower & smell the air escaping from that hole. If it's the septic smell, you've found the source of your problem. Good luck
