That dish has absolutely no monopoles. It either was installed by a third-party company or something along those lines. Not only are there leaks, but this installation is wrong. Moreover, there is no drip loop there. You can also complain about the installation being done wrong, using the points I mentioned above.

You need to call Directv (number in my greeting below) to file a damage complaint. They should be able to pay for/restore the leaks but if not, file a BBB complaint to get things going. Being we are customers like you, we wouldn’t be of much more help (unfortunately).

It somewhat depends on when DTV installed it.

Once installed the dish and coax are yours to maintain so if it been awhile since the install your homeowner insurance pays for the repairs.

I am wondering how that ceiling damage was caused by the DirecTV installation.

There is no drip loop on the coax so the water runs down the coax into the house as it doesn't look like it was caulked either, but the big question is how long it was happening.
