Not again

Today (well, yesterday, technically, but I haven't gone to bed yet) was already a really bad day.

Now there is water coming out of the ceiling of the kitchen, dripping from the overhead light fixture. Is it from the bathtub? (I'd just finished taking a bath). Rob pulled the back panel out in the bathroom and doesn't think it is anything in back or underneath the tub. Or is an ice dam formed on the roof?

We had the same thing happen to us in our townhome. Water was dripping down from the light fixtures (recessed, fwiw) into the kitchen. It turned out in our case that the big smitty pan under the hot water heater had rusted out just enough that it wasn't holding the condensation/run-off water from the central heat/ac and hot water heater anymore. It was running under the smitty pan and leaking through the areas in the subflooring that was cut for pipes. In our case, the hot water heater/ central furnace was above the kitchen.
