without seeing it with my own 2 eyes...
I would guess that the PVC cement at the joint has cracked and the pressure from the downspout is causing the leak....
Youll probably need to replace the joint or maybe you could just reglue it?? Most often your going to need to cut the elbow out and replace it.
I guess the first step would be to make sure your not losing your water supply. Then deal with fixing the broken elbow.
Find out what size the pipe and elbow are, and if you dont have any spares, head to the hardware store and the pick out the needed parts and also pickup some PVC Primer and PVC Cement...
If this sounds like its over your head... let me know and I'll swing by and fix it for ya
