Does a slow drain in bathtub have anything to do with overflow to cause ceiling damage?
NO -- you will have to open up wall behind tub to see where it is leaking from.
What can be the cause for your downstairs neighbor's bathroom ceiling leak and could it be your fault from your tub but there is no actual leak in your apartment anywhere and it's an old building?
For the ceiling to be damaged there is a leak! As to who's fault it is that is the question. It is determined by who is responsible in your apartment for the upkeep of what is leaking. Some of the causes could be a leaking tile wall or tub surround, water leaking where the valve or spout protrudes through the wall, a drain leaking, the shower valve or piping leaking, water spilling over the edge of the tub on the floor or even a roof or window leaking. I would recommend hiring a plumber to investigate and repair any leak that is occurring as most of the time it would be your responsibility for repair. A leak is not going to get any better on its own and water damage costs can be significant.
Why is water leaking on the downstairs ceiling when the H or C faucets on the upstairs tub are turned on if it is not leaking through the drain or tub?
If the tub has a shower as well, the pipe from the faucet to the shower head could be leaking. You might also check the tube that comes OUT and fills the tub. It could be leaking back at the valve when you turn on the water.
How would you repair a 1994 Olds Acheiva that is leaking coolant from a drain connection on the firewall?
The only hose connections at the firewall that contain coolant are the connections at the heater core. You either have a loose clamp or the compression fitting between the steel and metal parts of the hose itself are leaking. If there is coolant leaking out of an drain at the bottom area of the firewall, there's a good chance that it's leaking from the heater core itself, through a drain pipe which is the same drain pipe that removes water condensation from the air conditioning.
How can you repair a leak that is visible on the side of your garbage disposal under your sink?
If the sink/sink drain fitting connection, sink drain fitting/disposal connection, dishwasher/disposal connection, disposal/drain elbow connection are what are leaking they can either be tightened or have gaskets replaced or other sealing methods used. If the disposal is leaking elsewhere the disposal needs replacement.
What does it mean when the condensation overflow tube for your house air conditioner is leaking through your ceiling?
The overflow tube is clogged is my first guess, unless someone or something has cracked the drain tube with activity in the area.

How do you repair a leaking basement drain cap?
First off is this drain cap leaking constantly or is it just leaking when water is used. If it is constant it is indicating that the line is clogged and under pressure which is something that you will want to get a sewer and drain cleaning professional to deal with the problem. Trust me you don't want to remove the cap. If it is only leaking when water is running down the drain repair depends on what kind of cap it is and where ir is leaking, if the leak is through a hole in the cap or the threads of the cap removing the cap and replacing it or, resealing the threads with teflon tape and or, teflon pipe thread sealing paste (pipe dope) is the way to go. If the adapter the cleanout plug threads into is leaking you will probably want to have a plumber take care of it. If the threads that the cleanout plug goes into are shot there are alternative ways to seal the opening, Lead Fitalls, Test plugs, Jiffy plugs and caps to name a few application varies on the pipes you have. You may want a plumber for this.
