There is no reason to replace all the sheet rock just to do so. You
dont need the extra mess, just fix what shows damage. A recently found
leak will likely have no future issues.


Yes, probably won't need to actually replace any except repair the
access hole required to get to/repair the leak.

It would behoove OP to try to get to where can see where/what is leaking
-- it may be possible to isolate the offending fixture depending on
where/what it is that is leaking and mitigate further damage significantly.
