Default Leaking Tub/Shower

I have a Kohler cast iron tub with wet bed tile on the walls.
The tub has been caulked recently & looks good.
Sometimes when i take a shower i get a small leak in the kitchen ceiling
below.
I looked in thru the access panel behind the tub with a drop light.
I could'nt see anywhere the water could of came from.
I even felt around & nothing is wet.
This only happens maybe once every couple weeks.
How can it only leak ocassionally ?
I want to paint the damaged ceiling,but can't untill i find the source of
the leak.
Any suggestions appreciated.

Get thee in the access hole when someone is taking
a good long shower.
