Consequently, the conduit was clogged and that caused a foul smell, making you sick.

I am confused by the sentence above.

Why should we put a comma before the participle phrase "making you sick"?

Is it a non-definition phrase to modify the object "a foul smell"?

Yes, presumably it is the next thought. If it is restrictive, then drop the comma but change 'a' to 'the'.
