How is this even a question if this a warranty issue and should you call the builder?

The roof extension is leaking rainwater into deck, at the edge of the kitchen, where the deck starts.
This seems bad, and not "OK because the deck is outdoors.
Like the roof flashing against the house siding isn't installed properly?
Theres a plastic sheath rod thing running along the edge of the siding that is U shaped and wraps around the bottom of the siding on the wall above the roof. But part of it is twisted to its C shape, not U shape. Maybe that is leaking into the roof?
Does this sound like warranty call to the builder?
Very common. Hard to find sometimes, but get up there with a water hose and start low and work your way up till you find the leak. You will need a spotter under the roof to yell when they see the leaking.

I'm worried that if it's getting under the asphalt roof shingles and reaching the ceiling, that it could rot whatever is in between.

OP.
It also seems like the water it running along the slipped ceiling, not against the edge, and dripping from the middle of the ceiling. But it's hard to see, it might be running along the ceiling from the edge higher up before it drips.
