The floor behind my bath tub is soaking wet, I shut off the water every day when I am not using cause I don't know why it's still leaking. I had a friend come and look at it and the floor started to dry up but now its soaking wet again.

Not giving us very much to go on. Are the supplies wet? The waste, overflow and trap? Before we can help we must have more details then, "my floor's wet, what's wrong. What's happened after the floor starting to dry up and getting damp again? Did you take another bath? DETAILS! We need DETAILS before we can address a problem. Cheers, Tom

Check around the toilet supply line if it in proximity of the tub.
Also if you used the shower and then it leaks by that end of the tub, check the area behind the diverter in case it is not sealed. This would possibly put a lot of water outside through the wall.
More info willget you better info Also chack to see that your tub areas have good caulking around the tile or surrond on the tub that leaks also.
One other thing if the water is at the back of the tub( away from the valves, see if that area is level or if it leans toward the outside floor.
