2 leaking shower heads need repair ASAP!

There is a leak in my upstairs bathroom, but I am not sure if it is coming from the toilet or the sink. The leak has caused damage to the ceiling above my kitchen (downstairs).

Garbage Disposal Plumbing
A garbage disposal can offer several years of service with proper maintenance and care. Reduce the need for garbage disposal repairs by following these few simple steps. Never stuff the disposal more than its capacity. Avoid pouring grease, and shoving metal, glass or bones down the unit. While the unit is in motion, pour cold water down the unit -- hot water can melt grease, which can later harden to clog the unit. Never pour drain cleaners or household bleach down the unit, and run water through the unit before and after every use. If you do put something in your unit that doesn't belong there, use a pair of tongs to remove the object, not your hands. To keep foul food smells out the unit, cut up a few pieces of lemon rind and grind them into the unit. To clean your kitchen garbage disposal, run some ice cubes mixed with rock salt for about 5 seconds in your garbage disposer.
To make sure that your garbage disposal unit needs few repairs, never fill the unit above its capacity. Don't pour grease down the unit or shove bones, rubber or other objects that can block the unit. Always run water before and after every use, and run cold water while the unit is in operation. Do not pour household cleaners down the unit. If you have placed something in the garbage disposal like shells, bones or corn husks, pull out with tongs. Don't use your hands to pull the object out. For cleaning your garbage disposal, run a combination of ice cubes and rock salt for 5 seconds through your unit. To deodorize your garbage disposer, grind a lemon through it while you run warm water.
