the EHT connector is tracking to ground or the loptx is leaking and sometimes there is a smell when this happens.
i would not advise you to tackle this fault unless experienced at repairing tv's as if you dont discharge the tube safely it may discharge through you !!!
but if you feel confident on doing this then take back off tv and in a dark room you maybe able to see the arc where its tracking.then its a case of replacing EHT cap , lead or even worse the loptx
but before you remove the EHT cap make sure that you discharge the tube to ground BEFORE removing it as crt tubes can remain charged for some time even days after the set has been switched off. 25kv jumping through your fingers is not nice.
