Shower leak help

So, my shower has been leaking. I thought it was an old shower, so probably needed replacing, so i took the shower head and bracket down. Then I attached a new shower head, still leaked. So, I took the head off, and was left with what's in the pictures.

Someone on here told me to unscrew everything so we could see what's going on - it wasn't really screwed on, it turns out. I basically just pulled off what Claude told me is a compressor, so now I have what is in the final pics - a bit of exposed copper pipe, with I think a nut in the deepest bit i can see.

Any ideas?

So, my shower is leaking. It's leaking into the downstairs wall, directly underneath it, under some (thankfully soon to be replaced) wallpaper.

When i looked under the base of the shower, there was no water, except on the wall the shower comes from.

So, I took the fitting off, tried a new fitting as we wanted a rope instead of a fixed fitting. But the leak still happened. I have tried tightening both the front nuts, but there is a third nut behind them that I can't get to, which i think is the leaking joint.

How do I tighten that? My wrench doesn't have enough depth, for that, and if I get one of those long cylindrical wrenches it'll just turn the first one.

I am assuming I need to remove more tile, but just wanted to sense check.
