Just like the stories of gray water backing up into shower pan. Mine doesn't. It was dripping out of the bottom but never did back up into shower. Leaks somewhere on the top of the tank. I'm not sure which fitting and probably won't ever find out. I don't overfill my tank anymore.

Or you split your black water tank. Here's pictures of mine from last week:

Hmmm. Mine does this exact same thing. If I allow the Black Tank to completely fill up, and then keep adding water, mine flows out the bottom somewhere too. I thought it was supposed to do that. Guess something is wrong with mine too.

Hey, I filled up my black tank to much one time and it started to leak out from the belly cover on the bottom. I thought it may have been a emergency over flow valve or something. I just want let it get that full again. I don't plan on taking the under belly off because there are hundred of screws holding that cover on.

Did he buy it? The story of checking manufacturing flaws, that is. Same here, if I go too long w/out dumping the black tank, it overflows the tank under the 5er. Good thing I don't have an enclosed belly. Chasing some Calgon water softener today to try and get the sensors working again. 6 more hours, and then a week camping. Woot.

In my case in my 1996 Warrior there was a split in the grommet in the top of the tank the tube from the toilet went through.
I had to pull the toilet and the closet flange and replace the grommet.
