    We had a mystery leak from our bathroom a few years ago. Turns out the overflow pipe isn't properly connected, so if the bath is too full the excess water flows onto the floor under the bath and appears on the ceiling below a couple of feet away. Unfortunately the bath panel would need to be destroyed to fix, so we just use less water in the bath for now, which has solved the problem. If yours is something like that, then they wouldn't find it from just running the taps.
