You don't want to waste a lot of time and money and still have the problem. But we might as well take out a few pieces and try to smell them? I think the asfaboard smelled a lot when a piece was just taken off but the smell has started to fade now.
Things like this can be hard to find the cause of but you can't have a constant odor problem, so it has to be solved.
I think the sill can be fine in some stretches but moisture-damaged locally.
If you do a VOC and MVOC measurement, you will get an answer on whether there is any microbial abnormal growth or if any building material is reacting chemically. That's the best idea I can come up with to start with. Possibly, for example, OCAB can perform such a measurement.
