Maybe it was there all along, you just became desensitized, then off the boat for a bit reset your sniffer.

Sorry but it reminds me of this:
A guy visits his doctor and complains that he is experiencing bad flatulence although thankfully silent and without any odour. (In fact the guy let’s rip several times with the doctor not as much as raising an eyebrow)
The doctor prescribed him some pills and asks him to return in a week.
On his return the doctor enquired how the pills are working out for him?
The guy informs the doctor that they have made things worse.
“Hmmmmm worse !!! How so ?” “
Well” says the guy “not only do I still have flatulence and thankfully still completely odourless, but unfortunately they are no longer silent and I’m trumpeting like a freight train”.
“Well” says the doctor “it seems we have cured your hearing loss and we now just have to remedy your blocked sinuses.
Hmmmmm Celery you say…….

Did you ever narrow this down?
I recall that the bow thruster on our EB47 has an oil reservoir. It managed to get knocked loose somehow and had dripped a fair bit of the gear oil in it, in a space under the forward berth. The smell was not like anything else on the boat. I cleaned it up and used a disinfectant fogger with an enzymatic cleaner and that got rid of the odor.
