If you get called to a clients house and they have a big water mark on the ceiling below the bathroom, do you just cut a hole in the ceiling and inspect?

Is all the pipework boxed in? I'd be looking upstairs first before chopping holes.
It's got worse with no water running during the two weeks she's been away?
As the others have said, normally its silicone or grout that has gone. However if they have been away for two weeks and it has got worse then that may not be the case. Check all the sealing and anything visible before cutting a hole in the ceiling. The last one I had turned out to the pipes coming out the floor for the towel rail weren't sealed to the tiles under the pipe covers and the wet towels were dripping down and getting through the gap.
