Have you gone up on roof and cleared the galley vent line?
Could be obstructed by nests/debris or could have dropped down into tank. No venting.....no/slow draining.
Remove vent cap...check if end of vent pipe is close to level of roof or is it several inches below roof line (dropped). Run garden hose down vent line and blast it with galley drain valve open. Check flow out drain line.
The waste tank valves are cable operated........you will need to remove section of underbelly cover to access. (Can access via cutting a three-sided window/flap vs removing whole section)
May be able to reattacth cable ends to valves........most likely have to replace all three waste valves.Should be one (1) 3" and two (2) 1 1/2" cable operated valves. Will need to measure cable length.
There are NO overflows on waste tanks .....if you have waste liquid dripping down from underbelly then you have a leak on waste line.....could be drain line going into top of tank or drain line coming out of tank.
Some use a rubber grommet on lines to top of tank. Drain lines are glued to fitting/tank.
You will need to make access and find the leak.
