Most likely this leak is coming from the roof so, find the leak in the roof and fix it fast. This leak may not be necessarily above the closet area, as water can travel to the lowest point or to a place where it can penetrate easiest before being noticed,then after it is located and repaired, you will have to replace the moldy sheet rock and even the wood and insulation in the wall too, as mold is very destructive to everything it touches and grows on.This damage will likely be inside your walls more than what you see on the surface, which is indicating heavy reproduction of the mold and a steady supply of humid and moist environment to which it is able to thrive. If you decide to do these repairs yourself? make sure you have proper respiratory protection, disposable white over suits to protect your clothing, safety glasses, rubber gloves, safety toed boots, then Duct Tape all of the openings shut to prevent the mold from contaminating your undergarments and any exposed skin, and some heavy duty plastic bags to place all of this bio-hazardous material into and then call your local garbage collector to determine the proper way to dispose of this material. This is all going to be very expensive, but necessary to do or you can get sick and die if left exposed to the spores the mold is releasing into the atmosphere.
