It is very common to get a smell from an improperly sealed basin and studor vents are in my opinion bad practice in the first place It sounds like maybe either your basin lid is not sealed or maybe a studor vent was used and the disc is stuck or dried out.

It is operating properly which is evident by the usual noise of the valve when closing however I cannot get rid of the odd smell as of late. I have poured several 5 gallon buckets of water into the downstairs toilet, as well as into the floor drain, yet after a day or so, the odor returns. I'm wondering if a vent is clogged, or is perhaps is the pump on the verge of breaking down? I have a problem with what I would imagine are gas odors coming in from the ejector pump.
