See this thread for some troubleshooting guidance on a similar problem.

If it comes out the ceiling below fairly soon, you might want to try putting about an inch of water in the tub (drain closed) and add some food coloring. Open the drain to allow the tub to drain and if colored water shows up downstairs, then you know it is the drain piping.

Post pack if you need some more help.
