Shower pan tests?
 

Is there a way to test the shower pan in my master bathroom. There is some
evidence of a leak in the bathroom and I want to make sure that it is the
showe or maybe the toilet?

2 tests:

Pour a number of buckets of water directly down the drain
and then check for dampness. This will test the piping
without getting the pan wet.

I would wait several days to be sure the area is dry, then
place one of those large rubber "disc" drain stoppers over
the drain. Run the shower long enough to flood the pan to
a depth of maybe 1" or so. Let sit for several hours and check for
dampness.

Condensation on pipes could be a culprit also. Do the supply pipes run
in the same area? Also check for a sweating toilet
