Author basement shower leak

We have a shower in our basement that was here when we moved in a few years
back.
It is one of the three sided glass with a door. Depending on how much water
we use at a time, water seeps from one side at the floor.
The base is higher than the floor level.
The drain seems to be a pipe but could it be over a simple floor drain that
needs to be cleared?
Without taking it all apart and rasing the base to see underneath first, I
thought I would ask opinions here.
Thanks
Dave
