But what will pass for a perc test will be _far_ less than what a point
source of some size could perc with a leak is my point because the field
will be sized for the soil conditions as well as the load. It'd be
extremely easy to soak an area around a tank in soil that perc's pretty
well by the test.

Something similar to what hypothesized maybe or perhaps the field line
connect or such; who knows?

We put a switchover in when didn't the new field in TN, too, altho I
never had to make use of it when the second field was installed properly.

It'd still be interesting to know how OP know he has a leak...
