Re: What type of roof is this?
Also of note: See all those nicely flashed electrical conduits sticking vertically up with liquid tight connected to the tops of them?

Yep, you've all seen those liquid tight fittings fail and/or the liquid tight pull out of their fittings ... what you have now is called "a rain water raceway directly down to the electrical boxes and out into the ceiling(s) below".

Those should have (no code requirement, just common sense) had a 90 sweep on them or an LB, something to allow for the connection to be either 90 degrees to the horizontal or facing down, creating a drip loop to keep water out.

When they have a leak, that is the first place I would check for water entry.
