7. Probably not, but possibly something odd

We actually have it with a handheld shower head, so the main pipe doesn't move.

But one of the neighbors noted that he had a similar problem, with a leak through his lower floor ceiling. In his case, when his tub was set to shower, everything is good. But set what he called a"diverter" to bath, and instant leak.

However, since we have taken occasional baths without any problem, and it reappeared when a shower was being taken, that seems unlikely to be the exact problem. However, I thought maybe my sis left it partially on bath, mostly on shower, and the problem was being in-between settings. So I recreated that scenario.

Still no water leaking from where it was in the ceiling(took down the light fixture, so I can see the path inside the ceiling where it comes down, not just waiting for it to percolate through the sheet rock...

So far, nothing recreates the problem. A leak beside the tub would be best, because its most easily fixed. a little caulk and telling people not to flail. The most likely to have a serious problem would be a leak from the roof drain, but it would be an HOA responsibility, not mine. Or it could be in our plumbing, and then I have to pay for everything that needs to be fixed and replaced. Being out of work, thats more than a little scarey.
