More likely, if it only leaks when the shower is used, then the stem packing nuts are probably loose and have to be tightened. You can tell this by removing the trim rings and turning on the shower. If water comes out around the stems, either tighten the hex nuts, if you have them, or replace an "O" ring seal on the stem. : Help! The shower in the master bedroom has a leak. It : is a slow leak which drips down or follows the pipes and ends in the basement. The shower has ceramic tiles which the grout and tiles look okay. The drain in the middle of the shower which also looks fine. How do I locate the leak and stop it? Any suggestions?
