Should also mention there is a very musty smell in the bathroom. Gut the whole shower and remodel?

Also, could this simply all be due to a clogged weep hole? I can also replicate that wet spot by pouring water into the weep hole adjacent to that wetspot

Separate days. After running the hot water, all the tile is moist on the front wall, which is the side where the wet spot is forming. Wall doesn't get moist with a cold water running. The builder opened up the wall behind the shower faucet to look at the plumbing and there was no active leak...

I have run a hot shower and a cold shower with nobody in it but only the hot shower seems to cause that moisture seen on the drywall to the left of the shower at the base. The moisture doesn't appear till around 45 to 60 minutes after the water is shut off so it seems to me like it's...
