I'd guess it's the square access hole where the problem is located.
The membrane had to be cut and patched to create a curb, and since
melting snow is higher than rain alone, it's leaking at a particular
level.
Take a look here:

This manual shows how it should have been done, so you'll be able to see
what's required to fix it.
Patches, adhesive and such are all available locally, and DIY is easy.
Remember, if a roofer can do it, it sure ain't rocket science.
