    Would appreciate any advice as to who may be responsible

    Regardless of who may be responsible, compulsory strata building insurance will often cover “reasonable exploratory costs You necessarily incur in locating the source of bursting, leaking, discharging or overflowing of tanks, apparatus or pipes used to hold or carry liquid of any kind.”  (example from a CHU residential strata PDS)

    That cover is for the building.  It shouldn’t matter if the pipe is considered a lot or an OC/BC maintenance responsibility.

    So check with the OC/BC’s insurance company to see if it’s covered.
