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.

Do your downspouts disappear into the ground, or do they come out onto
splash blocks. If the latter, is the same amount coming out of the
one on this gutter as comes out some other side of the house?
Allowing for the difference in roof area that each gutter supports.

I forgot that you have to allow for wind direction too, if the wind
isn't parallel to the gutter. If there is wind and it is from the far
side of the house, there will be less rain on the near side of the
roof.

Might even be easier to compare with a neighbor's house, especially if
the roof is the same size and shape.
