Water Leak?

Yahoo Message Number: 66795
I am having trouble with an accurate reading on my black water tank just like many others on this forum. My motorhome is kept at my work so I fired up the Aquahot and decided to use that hot water to flush the tank. In the plumbing bay the coach has a faucet and I ran a short hose from the faucet to the black flush fitting. I turned the faucet on and opened the black drain valve and let the hot water run for about 45 minutes. As I turned the systems off I noticed water running out under the coach onto the ground.I turned the water supply off as water kept dripping and went inside the coach. There was a small amount of water on the tile in front of the dish washer. I tore half the coach apart including pulling the dishwasher out to look behind. I have no idea were it came from. I let everything dry and then turned the water to the coach back on. Started flushing the black tank again with cold water only and everything seemed fine. For some reason I believe that running that very hot water thru the tank for so long did something to cause the leak but I can't figure what. Could it have come boiled out a vacuum break? Any thoughts?

I was aggressively flushing my black water tank and found the vacuum breaker under the bathroom sink had failed, pretty well filling up all the tile with water. Thank goodness it was just flush water.
You may have some very wet cabinets under the sink.
