    Tub leak, stain in ceiling below - How to find leak???

    Well, today I got bold, and pulled off the soap dish... HOLY $#!+ :eek:!!!! The tile behind the dish came off with it, and the brown, muddy crap behind is all crumbled. I almost wonder if a quick & dirty fix was done before we bought the house several years ago, but that does not matter now...

    Tub leak, stain in ceiling below - How to find leak???

    I noticed this morning there was a new squarish-shaped water stain on the ceiling below my 2nd floor tub. The stain is located approx 14" away from the front wall (drain) of the tub, towards the fromt corner. It seems odd that a leak would "walk" so far away from the tub. I have no...
