Hi Don,
I once cracked my black tank pipe behind the gate valve while backing down a twisting, vegetation overgrown driveway. I hit the dump pipe on a stump sticking out.
I emptied the tank, parked it so the drain was high and got under there and very thoroughly cleaned the area of all dirt etc, especially around the crack in the pipe and fitting.
I used Blueskin, which is a building construction waterproofing membrane, peel and stick similar in properties to Eternabond. I used a heat gun to make sure everything was toasty warm after putting it on.
After covering the offending areas it never leaked again.
