I remember once trying to track a leak from a bathroom - turned out to be the grouting in the tiles had failed and the water was soaking into the plasterboard and then running down.

Wall disintegrated once tiles were removed!
 
If a hole in a ceiling has appeared beneath a bathroom, its nearly always the seal round the bath or shower cubicle.

You have a point. Sometimes, when the tiles are not sealed properly, the water tends to drop down damaging the ceiling below. Especially in that case that the bathroom is vertically aligned in the damaged area.
 
Although it is not always right that the color of water indicates the location of the leakage but yes at times it can help a lot in detecting the leaks. And the scenario here can easily attribute to the fact that there can be a leakage in water pipe and may be the water is coming from there. I think the flooring is not properly done therefore this problem has arisen.
