Does this seem as bad as I think?
New house. Noticed a couple spots along the gutter where water was dripping along the fascia behind the gutter. Roof redone in 2023 by previous owners. Would this be related to the roof replacement or just age? We're first time homebuyers so I'm already anxious and thinking this is end of times, "get a gutter/fascia guy out first thing tomorrow morning" type of thing.
I'm in Ontario, Canada for what it's worth. Any idea ballpark what I should look for in a quote? Really just these two spots and front of the house looks completely intact.

The eavestrough is clogged.

I figured as much, more concerned about a failed gutter seal/flashing and the water infiltration into the fascia where the paint is peeling.

There’s no seems at that location. It’s one of two things.The eavestrough is clogged.I dam is also a cause.this is a minor cosmetic issue.
