[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We had this issue a couple of months ago and fixed it ourselves. No plumber was needed. It was coming from the toilet seal, but it wasn't leaking on the floor. It had rotted. When we pulled the toilet off, I could see where the water had been dripping down into the kitchen ceiling below. That is where I would first check. You can find a video on YouTube.

Here is one that shows the kind of rubber seal we used (instead of a wax ring):

It's totally worth trying this first as it would save a lot of money. We're not super handy around the house, and this was not difficult. Took less than 30 minutes to do. [/quote]

OP here. Interested. The spots are nowhere near the toilet - they are near, but not underneath, the tub/shower. There is no way to lift these up or check anything without breaking/sawing tile, or alternatively cutting the drywall from below. These are both way beyond our skill level. I guess I will just call insurance since pipe leaks are theoretically covered.
