I know where you are coming from; I had an exact same problem a few years back. It wasn"t the toilet or the vent, it turned out to be the drain to the septic (the house is a 100+ year-old farmhouse). I found the septic tank about a foot undergound by using a pointed metal probe (I knew roughly where it should be). Then I dug (by hand) a hole to access a section of the drain pipe going to the tank (no clenout plug on that either), cut the pipe and snaked a smaller-diameter pipe through. Imagine what I cleaned out! Bottom line, the drain line collapsed close to the septic tank and had to be replaced (not too deep, didn"t need a backhoe). Later I also hooked my washer drain to the septic line and it acts kind of like a "power wash" now. Not much fun, but if the pipes aren"t too deep, it"s not that bad. Good luck.
