Yes. The flashing at the roof may be leaking.

I don't know Joe, it may have been designed that way to counteract the "too close to combustibles" issue.

Nah it looks like condensation from the bathroom exhaust running down the pipe

Condensation is due to the flue pipe being cold from the open B vent below that is blowing combustion gas on to that insulation at the wall.
