Well my worst fears have come true. I suspected my the holding tank for the head was leaking, and have now confirmed this. I cleaned the entire bilge, empty the tank, filled it half way with dyed water, let it sit for a day, and sure enough, I can see the trail of water coming from the tank and into the bilge. I have a 2001 340 Sundancer with 8.1's. The bilge is tight to say the least. Replacing the tank is probably going to be a major undertaking. So I have to decide to replace or repair. It appears the leak is in the back of the tank which sits very close to the hull with less than an inch clearance. I can not see the where it is coming from. Would need to try to lift the tank and see if I can even locate the crack.
So has anyone had this experience or have any suggestions? I was thinking of buying "Flex Seal" and giving that a shot. You know - the stuff they use to float the row boat with the screen door as the bottom. It is a spray product so location exactly where the leak is may not be as critical. But, I have read mixed reviews about this stuff. Others suggested JB Weld, but that would involve actually getting to source of the leak.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
