It can't leak water if there's none in the pipes. ;-)

Indeed I was just surprised a change of pressure didn't change the
amount. But probably it is capillary action then, as GB notes.

Could you cut the pipes in a more accessible place and perhaps
pre-fabricate the T including pipe ends? Then used end feed couplers?


Not unless I either change size considerably or pull the bath out, which
would necessitate a fair degree of destruction due to the way it's been
installed. Fortunately access to the shower pipes is a little more
straightforward so an alternate pipe route looks favourable.
