Leak inside by slide out

Found water leaked from somewhere between slide out and bathroom wall.
2017 Thor axis 24.1
Any ideas?
RV is sitting in driveway.
Never leaked there before. Can’t see any water damage to roof.
We’ve had some snow and rain this winter.

The snow may have created a dam which allowed water to get in somewhere it normally doesn't (like a plumbing or ceiling vent).

True...water may have accumulated along the slide seal where it meets the coach body...it freezes, expanding the seam a little. As this thaws, it can allow water to pass through before it completely thaws.

Thanks Guys! I was hoping that was the culprit. It’s supposed to rain Friday so I’ll be doing a water check.
Might even set up a sprinkler facing that area and see what happens. I’m sure it was an ice dam problem .
