Ladder up and eyes on really.
Assuming water is getting into hopper head properly cast of that type and age is known to rust out at the back,.
Also looks like you have a gutter joint leak as well, at that age original join would have been made with paint/putty bolted together.
Chances are bolt rusted out and joint cracked.
