Default bathtub leak

The bathtub on the 2nd floor is leaking onto the ceiling of the first floor.
I have removed enough wet drywall from that ceiling to be able to see the
bottom and the plumbing pipes of the 2nd floor bath tub. There is no water
leaking from the pipes, however when I leave the shower running for about 5
minutes water starts leakingdown on to the1st floor ceiling. I have checked
all the caulking and it does not seem to have any holes etc in it. The
shower has to be running for at least 5 to 7 minutes before it starts
leaking. Can you offer any suggestions?
