Bathtub Leaks

Q: The bathtub in our front bathroom seems to have a leak somewhere. The caulking continues to crack at the head of the tub no matter how dry and completely we re-caulk it. I have also noticed that a water stain has started and is spreading at the top of the tub between the wall and tub. I have tried putting in shower guards, to insure no leakage from the shower at the head of the shower onto the floor.

I am afraid there is a leak somewhere behind the tub and do not even know what or who to ask about this. I would like to replace the floor, but am sure the leak would only ruin the new floor as well.
