But..

I had a pipe leaking.. but at unpredictable moments.. and never when i was actually using water or when it was raining.

Turned out it was a drain pipe from an upstairs bathtub.. But a previous renovator had noted what I assume was at the time a tiny drip.. and had placed a small plastic wastebasket below it, inside the wall. Over the course of a decade or two.. the leak slowly increased.. but it only became apparent when the water was enough to fill the basket and overflow. And that would evaporate out at different rates.

All of which made for a lot of confusion about how, what and why it was happening until the wall was opened up.
