One final thought: I'm contemplating duct taping a plastic dry cleaner

answer. �How useful will this approach be as an investigative tool?

Do the plastic thing. Cover the whole wall, from the shower head down to the
floor. Problem solved? Then cut off some of the bottom and try again. Repeat as
necessary. My guess is that the problem will recur when you uncover the
controls, because water is likely leaking through the holes behind them.

Mine had a valve leak in the wall it turned into a all day job
replacing the valve, went from 3 handles to single handle temp balance
delta.

Honestly I am glad the old valve failed the new one hold the
temperature GREAT no matter what other water uses are going on
