I would turn it off and get an approved oil or gas service engineer to inspect it immediatley.

It could be flue gases escaping from the boiler/flue/burner etc.

But do not use until fully checked over.

If it is an older type boiler with loose insulation inside the casing it could be a dead mouse! I have come across many when servicing. If the smell is a flue smell then of course get it checked.
