Streaks On Walls From Ceiling

Replaced roof for customer little over a year ago. Now their having brown streaks coming down walls in a couple places only in the last couple weeks while its been pretty cold. Cleaned it off and it came back in a time where it never made it above 20 degrees, north side of the roof shouldn't be a lot of heat loss. There is currently snow on the roof. Streaks where there in the roughly the same spots prior to the roof being replaced, they had dealt with a lot of condensation issues in the past as its a addition sunroom theres only baseboard heat and not a ton of airflow. True vaulted ceilings with bat insulation, vent chutes between insulation and roof decking throughout most of the room. in the pictures the streaks are near the flat side of the chimney, that of corse would lead me to look at the chimney, however the flashing has grace ice and water underneath lapping up the sides and the flashing is impeccable. The vent chutes only run on the right side of the chimney to the ridge. Any ideas where this all could be coming from? I refuse to redo the roof work at this point since everything was redone and there wasnt a sign of a leak on that side originally (streaking was on the walls prior to roof replacement) I originally said condensation but this streaking is from a couple days only as he cleaned it off and seems to only be in that spot. Any and all constructive theories welcome.
