    Is it a bathtub shower? We had a similar problem in our apartment. It turned out that they had but the overflow value in upside down and the water was pouring under the tub somehow. We ended up with a kitchen full of water! It was pretty easy for a plumber to fix.

    The only thing it could be is a bad connection in the shower arm or a faulty connection in the drop eared ell, ( the fitting the shower arm screws into).
    You may have to open up the wall to see exactly where the leak is located. Good luck, Tom
