k8devin, even if the tanks are empty, when you are hooked up to a water source, in most motorhomes, it bypasses the tanks and the water flows directly to your faucets. The tanks are only filled from the fill point outside the motorhome. This is where you have a small door that you unlock and insert the end of the water hose and let water flow in until you determine the tanks is full. Since you did not say if you are indeed connected via a hose to a water source like a spigot, I have to assume that is what might be causing the leak because it would create a constant flow of water into the motorhome, which would occur irrespective of whether the tanks are empty, or half empty, or full.
I think most newer MHs have a valve that switches to fill the tank and the hookup is the same position for everything. I haven't had a separate spot for filling from a hose since my '76 Fireball.
My 2015 Winnebago View Profile has both a gravity fill for the fresh water tank along with the valve to fill it while it is hooked to my city water hookup. I would think Bobbo has the same setup as I do on mine.
To the OP, I would take my rig to a dump site and empty both the black and grey tanks before I tackled anything else. The readings on tank monitors are known to be off especially after a rig has been used for a period of time. At best they are somewhat accurate when new.
