Perhaps a loose hose fitting.

Are you loosing vacuum or loosing effluent?

If you are losing effluent get to it right away, the odor trail it leaves behind can be nearly impossible to rid the boat of.

I had a cross threaded fitting on the pump out pump. The fitting seats against the duck bill valve. Easy to find the leak with the aft cabin taken apart.
