A320 mystery vent?
Can someone please identify the opening above and to the left of the drain mast located on the AFT RIGHT fuselage of this A320?

HAHa, stand in front of it the next time someone flushes a toilet. Your mystery will be solved.

Was not aware of any waste going overboard, do you have any more information?

Water leaks from the drain mast which is from the sink, never saw anything leaking out of this round hole?

However, some 'liquid' sometimes gets through, leaving brown drips and streaks from these vents........
