We just bought a 23 year old house that has had a lot of work done to it recently. There is a drop ceiling in the basement and I noticed recently that one of the tiles had a yellowing circle with a bit of black in the middle. I pulled the tile off and it is directly below a black PVC pipe that after process of elimination I determined was the drain pipe from the toilet on the second floor. The leak is very small and must be up higher than I can see because it is running down the pipe and took a little bit to actually produce water when the toilet was flushed. I am wondering if there is anything that I can do to determine where the actual leak is without ripping out drywall? Also what to do to fix this. Thank you for any help that can be provided.
