Small and slow leak from the thing behind the shower that the hot and cold lines go into. Access panel behind my fridge allowed me to check on it. Any ideas as to what's up? Plumber will be here tomorrow.

This is where I had seen the leak. It was very slow and very small. Mostly on the right hand side where that green is at on the copper looking thing in the middle. Also felt wet around the blue water line that goes up from it.

Looks like about a $750.00 job. Every plumbing job is $750.00. My advice is to get on YouTube and learn how to sweat a pipe.

Pretty sure that's the actual shower valve. Copper turns green when it corrodes, so it may be time to replace it.

Looks like the ring on the upper line didn't seat correctly. Should be simple. Also, have that mass of fire damage inspected and documented

Yeah didn't notice the fire damage until like the 3rd year of owning the house. Looked in this access panel for the 1st time back then

Must have been previous home owner trying to do the solder himself.

The copper thing in the middle. I ran my finger across the right hand side of it where that green stuff is on top of it and that's where.

So right side of copper thing, on the top, where the green is. I couldn't see the actual source.

when the shower is off does it leak?

I've only seen it leak when the shower is turned on. That's when I noticed it. Thought I heard a drip, so I went and looked.

If you look at that copper thing, I felt it on the right side all around where that part is that sticks up. Both the left and right side

Have that same thing sticking up. But the right side one is where I felt it at.
