How do you find out where the water leak is coming from when you turn your bathtub water on upstairs?
I would first pour several buckets of water down the drain without running the tub faucet to see if the drain is leaking. Then I would with a spray bottle direct water around the drain lever/overflow plate, tub spout and valve to see if that is where the leak is. I would then move to the valve itself to see if that is leaking checking packings and the diverter. If nothing shows at that point check tub tiling and possible water spilling on the floor. If water is appearing and you cannot determine where it is coming from you may have to open a wall or ceiling to determine. I also try measuring where the leak is and comparing the measurements to locations of tub parts. In any case I try my best to find the cause before cutting walls and ceilings unless the ceiling is already shot from the leak then open it up and look. Wall openings are done on the wall behind the tub valve usually a closet or bedroom wall, never break out the tub wall around the valve.

What do you do if a oxy-acetylene gas is leaking from welding bottles?
It depends on where the gas is leaking. If it is from the regulator connection sometimes just readjusting and tightening the grooved nut will stop the leak. Turn off the valve and remove the regulator. Check for dirt particles and damage to the seat and regulator bulb (the fat part that fits against the seat), open and close the valve quickly to blow out any loose particles, reattach the regulator. Check to see if the gas is still escaping. If it is, the regulator bulb or the valve seat may be damaged. All cylinders have a fuseable plug and if it is leaking from there evacuate the area immediately and call emergency personnel. If it is from the valve area you may be able to stop the leak by tightening the packing nut at the base of the valve stem. With the regulator attached open the cylinder valve slightly and tighten the packing nut. Check to see if this stops the leak. If immediate attempts fail, evacuate the area.

It is sometimes a problem but not necessarily due to the material the valve covers are constructed of. Check all the bolts holding the valve covers on an tighten them to exactly 5 lb/ft of torque and no more. If that does not stop the leak, then the valve cover gaskets will need replacing. If the oil leak is very slight, I would just leave it alone, as this can be an expensive repair unless you do it yourself.
