Actually, I've got something similar going on; just happened to go
into the basement after a shower and notice dripping. Repeated a few
days to confirm, dripping every time. (one of these molded shower
stalls, no tiles) So.... took off the shower head and capped the pipe,
then turned it on full blast; no drips, so the supply can't be the
problem. Then I took a huge storage bin thing, filled it up with a
hose from the sink, and dumped it into the bottom of the stall; no
drips, so it can't be the drain. Now what?- Hide quoted text -

In addition to all those good possibilites, also check outside the
shower door, where the outside floor tile meets the shower. If that
area is not caulked, water that drips from the door, folks drying off,
etc can also drip into and through the wood floor.
