Default Gutter problem(Pics included)

Hello,
I have a gutter problem now. When it rains, the water drains off the
gutter to the side. After it stopped raining, i checked it and there
was nothing blocking the drain. Also, i noticed the water dripping
underneath. I thought there might be a hole underneath it, but there
wasn't as far as my eye could see so it must be the water dripping to
the side and flowing down. What is causing this? The dent? Is there a
way to fix this without replacing the entire gutter. It is a metal
gutter. I have a few pics which one is during the downpour and the
other one with rain subsided quite a bit. Thanks.

The problem is due to the dip in the area of the gutter in the area of
the dent. The gutter should have a continuous straight slope to the
downspout. You can try working out the dip. In the event you can't
work it out, replace that section of gutter.
