Leaky tanks

Awhile ago we noticed some stinky in the basement of our new fiver. Si I filled up two gray and one black water tanks. The kitchen tank was filled up to the sink bottom by about and inch. The shower gray was filled to about two inches into the shower. The black was filled into the toilet.

On the next morning the kitchen gray tank sink level was where it was the previous evening. The water in the shower was gone, and the black water was down about a foot into the pipe below the toilet.

The chloroplast had a belly, indicating the water didn't go down the drain; especially when we pressed on it and water came out the seams.

Is this normal? Please, tell me how you check for leaks.

First step is to drop the coroplast , and let things dry out . Then have someone slowly fill the tanks while you lay under the RV checking for leaks.

The result was that the gray water valve was leaking upstream of the valve and both vents at the top of the gray and black tanks were leaking.
