New 1986 Minnie Winnie strange problem
Guys, I just purchased a well maintained 1986 Minnie Winnie on a ford E-350 chassis.
Here is a puzzler.
When I fill up the fresh water tank or am on city water there are no leaks. When I fill up my grey water tank through normal use the toilet bowl fills up and I see a small drip comming from the bottom of the black water tank. I have read that older RV's can develop a leak at the top of the holding tank where the fittings become loose or the rubber hose develops a crack. I don't really know where the leak is coming from I just see the drip at the bottom of the tank underneath the RV. My question is why does my toilet fill up when I fill up the grey tank. I have two pull levers a large one for black water and a small one for grey water. Is this by design or is there something broken?
Thanks for shedding some light on this.

Update 8-6-14 I found that the sink in the bathroom drains directly in to the black tank.
