Default leaking shower

Things tried: Ran the garden hose up to the room and gave the
tiles a good soaking for about ten minutes -- no water leaked.
Second, ran the water in the tub(no shower) also for about ten
minutes, still no water. Next, I found an old shower head that
you can turn the water flow off and ran it for about five
minutes, still no water. Took a shower -- found water.

Any other suggestions?


It sounds like it's something that's being moved by the weight
of a body in the shower, that's been known to happen. Try
stepping in and out of the shower*, and while doing so, look
for unintentional "expansion joints", like caulking being
moved out of place, or maybe you're slightly getting the drain
flange pulled away from the tub?.

(* or just plug the tub and fill it)


I took the garden hose, got in the shower and splashed the walls/doors and
still nothing.

Thanks for your time,
