Anytime the roof, front, back or sides has been cut open to allow the installation of a vent, light, window, or a city water connection there is always the possibility of a leak.
The collar/sleeve around the city water connection may not have been sealed properly at the factory and has, as you suspect, been leaking for some time.
While a leak at that location is a bit unusual, given the fact that water from the roof spout was dripping down onto it, it is quite possible for it to leak.
By sealing it from both the inside and outside, it should no longer leak but, like all of these exterior installations, they are all prone to leaks if not properly sealed. That's why regular checks should be made on windows, lights, roof vents, etc. to make sure that the seals "look good".
