How is best way to fix this problem? She added that the pipe was old and plumber probably broke it.
You'll have to cut out a section of the ceiling around the leak (suggest 1' x 1') and see what's damaged in the drain piping. Look for a crack in the pipe or trap, then saw out the broken section and replace. Replace the drywall, tape and repair, then paint the ceiling.
I had this problem in a newer house that turned out to be a loose drain fitting -- just not tightened up fully when originally installed.
