Just because your showerhead was leaking why do you assume the problem is with the showerhead.
If no water was coming up the pipe there would be nothing to drip through the showerhead.
So maybe it is something further up the system that was allowing water to seep through, like maybe a switch not turning off properly.

It is probably the solenoid that doesn't close the valve properly. If you have a stopvalve to the water supply for the shower, just turn that off to stop the dripping. Don't forget to turn it on when you have a shower.
It can't hurt to to ring a couple of local plumbers tomorrow and explain the problem. Make sure you have the Model and number handy. They'll tell you in a flash, dump or fix.
