In the side closest to the house, about 6 to 10 inches below the top of the tank, should have an elbow pointing down which may clog and should have a small access hole or plate above it in the top of the tank. Does that help?

Should septic tank inlet be above top of liquid?

Yes, it should. If the liquid level in the first settling tank has risen above the inlet, then that tank's outlet to the field or secondary tank has become plugged. Look into the end of the tank furthest away from house and see if you can see the outlet pipe and what is plugging it. Further away from this outlet, the pipe will enter a distribution box, try to find this and if water is not flowing into it, 'snake' it towards the tank.
