New Build Leak - Originally reported within 2 years

Hi guys. I'm not sure exactly where it is coming from other than the bathroom. It has stained the kitchen roof directly beneath it. There is water around one of the taps and wondering if that is it. I have contacted the developer and they are talking to the site managers to see what's going to happen. The insurance was also with the NHBC.

Attached some screens of the issue.

Go and have a look. Bath panel off what is wet.

Isolate it. All new build have isolation on taps these days.

Those stains aren't all in one place. Personally I'd be investigating myself and trying to stop the leak before more damage was done.
