the eye does sound like it needs a vet..........
as for the lump and the smell a warm bath with a drop of washing up liquid in (to break the surface tension of the water) could help if the lump is something like constipation or a retained egg/slug but it's very difficult to know what to advise without seeing her or any pics  |

| Am no expert but it sounds like a job for some pictures for the more experienced here to take a look at and probably a trip to the vet. |

I'd take it to a reptile specialist if you can. After working at a vets for summer I wouldnt take a snake to one they tend to guess what things mean. ¬_¬
Also, my corn had two lumps appear last year and the reptile specialist told me they were lumps of fat surely to kill my snake soon o.O
He's still alive a year on and the lumps are no longer there.

Lumps on either side, or one side of the vent are most likely to be 'hips', they are not a threat to the snake in anyway.
However, best stick a pic up of its eye, and lump and we can advise better then. |
