Hi all, this problem of dripping water is driving me nuts, anyone who offer suggestion is greatly appreciated!

The house is 10 yrs old, in the basement, there are 2 big pipes going to the 1st and 2nd floor respectively. 2 days ago I start noticing water drops leaking from the ceiling, just around the pipe that connects to the 2nd floor.

The drop is every 4-5 seconds, can fill up a cup during the night, and the water is crystal clear, the wet spot on the ceiling is limited to around the pipe, 3-4 inches offset.

not even sure where the leakage is coming from. so I shut of the 2nd floor toilet , but no go.

I think of hiring a plumber, but would like to do something myself if possible before going in that direction, please help!
