I have a shower that has leaked for several years in the main cabin.  I finally discovered it after I had to replace the teak and holly sole in the forepeak that rotted out.  I still haven't found the source of the leak.  Has anyone else had this problem and what did you do to fix it? Sad  Sad

On our E32 water from the shower would leak from where the vertical panel in the forward end of the shower met the v-berth. This panel was on a diagonal and was never sealed---just screwed on. Check the seams on all the walls.

If you are showering in the forward shower and the leak damaged the forward cabin floor, I would look at the joints of the walls & floor of the shower. The caulk could have dried out and allowed the shower water to seep through over time.
Are you sure all the plumbing fittings are tight?
One way to look for leaks is to put down talcum powder and then look for streaks in the powder.
