I had a similar problem. The gutter looked clear and there was water
exiting the downspout. But I pulled out several handfulls of packed
dead leave from the 'S' bend in the downspot. The gutter overflows
when these leaves back up water due to a heavy downpour.

Usually just the lowest part is enough to keep it from going over the
sides.
