Unhappy Rotten Smell of death...pics

i have an 06 ss/sc 2.0 balt, and just yesterday i began smelling this nasty rotten smell, like garbage or roadkill coming from outside, as i drove i thought it was just some truck or building i was passing by but as soon as i get to my garage i begin to smell it again and it's coming from the rear driver side just below where the brake line connectors meet, and i couldn't see anything wrong aside from the fact that hitting those f*ckin potholes have unhooked the brake line connector to the frame of my car as you can see by the pics, but i see no leakage other than this white gunk that smells like death. my question is this, is there anything that can be technically wrong with my car that can produce such a disgusting odor?

lol...i think a rat or squirrel might've gotten in one of the holes underneath the frame and died in there, cause i cleaned underneath the car, even wiped my exhaust pipe and that stink is still there, it's nasty, you can really notice the smell when the car heats up

white gunk is probably fat/fur from some road kill you ran over
