Any windows on the second story above the general area where the stain was found? Could

be a leak from around one of those windows, and not the roof itself. All it takes is a small hole (even 1/4" x 1/4 is enough) and the wind driven rain will leak in, and once inside the structure will of course flow downward due to gravity.
