Leak under floorboard?

Just noticed what looks like a slight 'bubbling' in a couple of spots under the laminate flooring in the middle of our 2002 Classic. I'm assuming that it's water but have no idea where the water might be coming from. The water pump doesn't appear to be leaking. Any suggestions before I start removing some of the laminate would be appreciated. Thanks.

Bubbling need not have anything to do with a leak. It could just be delamination caused by a failure of the glue. Try this: With an icepick, poke a (small) hole in the laminate. Then press on the bubble with a hand, foot, whatever. If no liquid comes out, there's no leak. Sort of like popping a zit.

It's definitely a leak

Thanks, Protagonist, but it's definitely a leak.
I thought it might be coming from the shower because of where the floor 'bubbling' starts. The shower handle faceplate had come a little loose and I thought maybe the connection behind it had come loose too. However, that wasn't the case.
I'm starting to think it might be the water pump after all. I'm going to have a closer look today.
