Thanks peeps. Doesn't matter about insurance any longer since they told me to get stuffed basically :)
I believe I found where the water is coming from, there's some poor caulking between the tub and wall and the water runs on the tub edge behind the tile and down to the floor.
Gonna re-caulk...
I'm not aware of what a "clue report" is.
I think the damage is a lot less than first expected. It seems as it's only a small part of the corner that's affected, I think we can just replace the plywood, confirm no damage under the tub, and put in a new waterproof floor and be good to go.
Thanks everybody!
Not what I expected with my thread but I really appreciate the kind words. I know I'm not alone and that helps.

Yeah that's terrible.
A friend told me that in Florida the companies aren't too keen on insuring houses that are paid off or the premiums are so high the owners doesn't want it.
Then a hurricane comes by...
This sounds exactly what we're looking at here. If the water was leaking for 2,5 years behind the wall, with a shower or bath almost every day, we would see a lot more mold than this little corner. And as far as I know, a backboard made of concrete or whatever, doesn't mold. My guess is that...
