Anyone have black tank leaking

I have 2018 jayco jay flight slx. Our trailer is at the dealer right now. They think the black tank is leaking. Has this been a issue for anyone else?
Thank you and happy camping

Only a small drop from the macerator valve when it is open, closed most of the time and it stops fortunately.

Yes. It was a small leak, maybe a drop every 10 seconds when the tank was full, but I could smell it on a hot day. Mine was leaking from the joint right at the first joint leaving the tank. There is a clamp holding it on. I had to:

Scrape off all the old putty (or whatever it is).
Remove the clamp.
Clean both ends. (I used paint thinner)
Apply dicor adhesive.
And reclamp.

No more leak, that was gross!
