rain leak

I get a little leak coming from light fixture over toilet after a very hard rain. I took the light down and it's not getting soaked up there but concerning.
Has anyone else had a leak like this ?
The light is near the bathroom vent but really not sure how the rain gets in.
Any insight will be appreciated.

Hello

Check the Vent for the tanks. Possible the pipe is below the roof and rain might be splashing inside the cap and cross the ceiling panelling inside.

The vent is a likely culprit. However, water can enter from many feet away and eventually find a place to enter and in your case it’s the light. Probably the best is to try to reproduce the water entry using a water hose. Start out in very specific areas probably around that vent first. Let it sit and check in a while. Be patient as you move around the roof because sometimes it’s difficult with a hose to make it leak.
