Flat Roof Leak, blocked outlet?

So I had a leak in my flat roof over a year ago which I had some repairs done and it continued to leak. I ended up having a whole new felt roof put on in October. No issues until the other day where water started leaking in the exact same area where it was leaking from before after some bad rain. It hasn’t leaked for the last couple of days despite having some rain. My roof has not yet been looked at due to the weather conditions, but the roofer has said that maybe the outlet has blocked up and is causing pooling which is why it’s leaking in the same area. If this is the case, would it cause the roof to leak despite the roof being in good condition? Thanks Edit: the roofer was spot on with what he said. He went up on the roof and there was a pool of water not draining in the outlet. He pushed the blockage down and the whole pool of water started to empty. I appreciate what you’re saying David, but my roof was not done by a caveman and was not put back to how it was. The whole roof was stripped, boards replaced and new felt system installed.
