Rear toilet or half bath? Is the toilet directly over the waste tank?
The answers will determine if it is a straight drop or not. If the toilet is not directly over the waste tank, then there is at least one elbow in the line, if not two.
60 psi can generate a LOT of force if the surface area is large enough. Let's say the hopper is 8 inches by 8 inches, so 64 square inches times 60 lbs per square inch results in 3864 lbs of force. Yep, I would think two tons would deflect a plastic piece enough to cause a leak.
