Water dripping or coming out of the handles? Check your stems and seats. In this case a was very old Ge**er shower body was continuously allowing water to drip from the spout and pluring out from behind the handles when opening the valves. Its usually a simple fix. Shut the water to the house amd drain from a lower fixture. Remove the trim and stems. Carefully remove the seats with a seat wrench. Then replace with all new seats , stems and trim. Restore water and test. I like to restore water before putting the trim to make sure there's not dripping behind the wall.
