I have an attached garage, the floor above it is a bedroom then bathroom, then another bedroom.
Most of the bathroom pipes are above the front of the car.
This morning I went to the garage and noticed water on the garage floor around the car that had dripped down.
I went to the grocery store. When I got back there was some water in a new spot (where the car had been).
At first I thought it was the heating system, but the new spot indicated the hot water pipe (~50 or so year old steel) to the bathroom.
I called the plumber, they thought they wouldn't get here 'til tomorrow. They showed up a little after 1PM.
I moved the car out of the garage and showed them the spot on the floor.
They couldn't find a leak. They cut the insulation off the hot water pipe, the insulation was all dry. There was no sign of wet wood or drips from incoming or outgoing plumbing.
They said an incoming leak wouldn't stop, so it had to be outgoing.
They didn't charge me anything, said they would leave the work order open and to keep an eye on it.
