    I have a more positive way to check your leak then sniffing around then bathroom.
    If youy can't see any moisture on the floor then cut out the wet part of your ceiling and track the moisture back to the source. Make your cut a square one as you'll be using it as a patch later, Let me know what you find. Good luck, Tom
