This is a real problem. No snow or rain on roof, gutters not blocked.
Above back door is bedroom and bathroom. No water used for a week but
still have a water leak dripping down from soffit. Had compleat roofing
torn off and new roof installed, no sign of water up there. HELP
P.S. It hasnt rained for 2 weeks.

Time may be a great healer, but it's a lousy beautician.

Did this start after the new roofing job, which presumably meant new gutters
were installed or they were removed and placed back?

Even if it hasn't rained for two weeks, if a gutter is pitched wrong or
insufficiently pitched, it may drip. Either from the outer edge or a corner of
the gutter (I actually have that at the moment, the installer is going to return
and set up with an added downspout), or into the soffit box where you see the
drip.
