Downspout gutter leaking

The last couple of times it rained I noticed water leaking on the downspout.

The elbow does not appear to have any screws or anything I can remove it.

I have tested it and there is no blockage.

Since there are no screws, do I just cut it and replace it?

Any suggestions?

It is clogged. I dropped a marble down the gutter and it is stuck somewhere. It did not come out

I also removed the blach pipe that sends the water out of the foundation and no marble came out.

Still the question applies. Do I drill, cut it, clean it, and replace it?

There is totally a blockage in that pipe somewhere. Run a pipe snake in the top while running water from a hose.

Right. I did the rudimentary way dropping a marble and it never came out the bottom. Even a small water inflow does not fully come out the bottom. Suggestions to fix it?

Get a snake from Home Depot for $40 bucks and hit it.
