Water coming from the center of my track lighting in my kitchen. I'm on the 2nd floor in a 3 story apt complex.?
Directly above me is another apt of the same layout. Where my lights are at should be just their kitchen floor. I have checked the rest of my apt and don't see any other leaks beside that one. Maintenance came out yesterday, he took the cover off of the center beam to expose the wires and he just wiped it off with a towel. He went upstairs to see if there was a leak and said that there wasn't. Since it wasn't leaking at that very moment, he wanted to just put the cover back on and leave it alone but I told him to just leave it off and that I was going to watch for more leaking to occur. Today it got twice as bad but the office was already closed. I'm afraid that the apt complex won't send a professional out here to look at it and I don't want someone that doesn't know what they are doing to try and tell me that this light is safe when I know better. Under the cover for the screws, I saw rust so that means that this leak has been going on and no one knew. That's what I'm guessing anyway because I have the exact same track lights in my dining room and they never give me any problem at all but the kitchen track lights burn out at least once a month or more often. What can I do to make sure that this situation is handled properly? Thank you
I have taken video too and I plan to take it to the managers office tomorrow.

I think that the fuse circuit will trip if there is any chance of water shorting out through the electric
And if that happens then you should have an emergency contact number, take a few pictures of the area in question so that you can press the managers for a more professional investigation / repair
