Be aware that for the first few minutes after turning off you will get the shower head leak a little. This is because the shower head has a large cavity inside that fills up with water in use. When you turn off, that water has to go somewhere, so it dribbles through the outlets of the shower head.

If both shower heads are off no water should be going to your shower head. the only thing it could be is your shower valve itself. you probably have a pinhole in one of your o rings on the valve stem. try replacing the valve stems.

I would start by replacing all the washers and o-rings on the hot and cold valves ( a lot cheaper than replacing the entire valve stem ).

Try replacing the Valves, and then the pipe holders, (for want of a better word) to the wall.

The shower diverter has a bad seal - very easy to replace.

How can you stop water leaking through the shower head when both cold and hot water are on but you want the water coming in through the tub faucet and not through the shower head?

If the faucet contains the re-direction valve (closes off the water from the faucet and redirects the water to the shower head) you need to rotate the faucet counter clock wise to unscrew it from the plumbing and replace it with a new one. Take the old one to your local box store and they can match it up for you.

Why does flushing the toilet affect the water temperature in the shower?

Flushing the toilet can affect the water temperature in the shower because both the toilet and the shower are connected to the same water supply system. When the toilet is flushed, it temporarily reduces the amount of water available for the shower, causing a drop in water pressure and potentially affecting the temperature of the water coming out of the shower.

Why does water still come out of the faucet when using the shower?

Water continues to come out of the faucet when using the shower because the plumbing system in a house is designed to supply water to multiple outlets simultaneously. This means that water can flow to both the faucet and the shower at the same time without any interruption.

Why is your disconnected heater core still leaking?

There may have been some water left in the heater core when you disconnected both hoses at the firewall. I can't think of any other explanation since there is no water circulating through the heater core.
