Hello, I am new to this wonderful board, and I am so thankful for this site. Let me tell you the problem
My tub was leaking so I thought it was the washers. Yes one washer was destroyed so I changed both to be on the safe side. Then I opened up the water and it still out leak.
Now I called Aces hardware up and told this guy Marvin about it and he said the seat is probably damaged . So I went back to Aces and got a seat wrench and a seat for inside of the stem.
Well all is finally working well. No more leaks except around the tub I have 1 " calking stipes so no water can do in between the walls. Well the leak has stopped, but the truly orginal problem is still there. There is a leak dripping from somewhere and its going inside of the spout 1" strip calking and dripping ever so slowly on the side of the wall and trickling into the tub.
Does anyone know what else can cause this? I need help very much thank you so much

Is it only leaking behind the spout when the tub is on? Or does it do this all the time no mater if tub is on or off?
