I would say that you should first determine if you have a leak when you are moving only, or does it leak when you are at rest too?
Obviously the way to do this is to clean it out first, but after that remove access panels and pack paper towels around all places you think might cause the leak and fill it up.
After a few minutes, start pulling the towels carefully, looking for a telltale wet spot.
If you can't see it, take your small digital camera on close up, and reach up inside and take pictures of the spot so you can determine better your next approach.
I had a leak on my drain line years back and removed the fitting, then dried out the tank by wicking the water out with the rig on a slant. I then tipped it the other way and warmed the area so that I could not detect any wetness on the fitting. I reassembled it with epoxy in the threads and the cracked fitting and it never leaked again.
good luck
