Wise - I think the damage is from before they added a hopper and down pipe - the support pipe is a drain but clearly not a very good one. I’ve got a new hopper and downpipe (galvanised) on order that will feed into the rain barrel. Could run a plastic pipe across the roof directly into the hopper I guess .

Looking at your pictures I would also suggest that you run that downpipe from the main roof on down to ground level rather than terminating on the porch roof as it does now. You can see all sorts of previous water damage from the roof overflowing in the past. It will be a pain to hide but will work better
