What's above it on the roof ? Water may be running down a joist for a bit. A new roof, properly felted and roofed shouldn't have any place for it to leak. Type of roof could make a difference, I'm assuming asphalt shingles. If possible, look in the attic to see if you can see a water stain around the leaking area.
