I test my shower again for a leak

Remember last month when I saw water leaking thru the wall into the dining room after a shower?? I pulled down the drywall and tile around the shower fixtures and hoped to see water shooting out from behind the shower diverter on the east wall but did not. I only let it run less than a minute but did not see any water anywhere behind the fixtures. That means it’s leaking from some connection in the north wall. On the other side of that wall is my dining room, and a long table where convection and toaster ovens and water cooler are. I will make it a project to move everything away from that wall so it can be opened up and looked into. I wonder what the connection looks like in there and what might be loose? My home was built in 1984.

UPDATE: I moved everything away from that wall so a tester guy can check for moisture in the wall and cut into it easily if needed. That would be a cool place to have a utility access wall anyway.
