Take a close look at the following picture:

Note the downspout and how it runs through the decorative trim work.
Notice the water shining on the edge of the trim work---wet from the leaking downspout connection at the very top.
Notice the wet darker color brick behind the downspout below the trim work.
Notice the whitish efflorescence on the brick at both sides on the arches above the windows.
