    omg, the day after I read this, my wife discovered water in my basement. It's leaking all the way down the drain pipe from the shower upstairs. Arrgh. Now it looks like I have to cut a hole in the adjacent bathroom wall.
    I am a DIYer, even if it means I end up doing extra jobs due to my f-ups.
    Sigh...

    Check your grout in between your tiles and the calking around the tub base, and also the seal around your drain. Even the smallest crack in grout can cause the water to leak behind the wall and get under the shower basin. From there it follows the drain pipe. If you see a crack in the grout, regrout the area.

    Thanks Shelby. But I think it's gotta be behind or under. It's one of those combo tub-shower jobs, so I have a strong feeling it's the tub drain assembly - or the supply after the diverter, or the diverter. Either way, I have a feeling, it's a hole in the wall I must make.
