There are two new videos out that include images of the upper spillway.
Juan Browne video from April 4th:

DWR video from April 3rd:

Here is a screenshot from.about the 1:26 mark in Juan Browne's video:
To the image left of the small amount of flow from one of the gates, it looks like there is some water flowing down the hillside from below the spillway. Possibly from a drain?
For comparison, here is the screenshot I shared earlier from this DWR video of the recent spillway shut down, from about the 1:17 point

From the new images, it appears that the brown water and rocks seen inside the flow in this image and the video was coming from a possible drain pipe. This screenshot from the DWR video link from April 3, shared above:
*Shown in a subsequent post from AlmostAce not to be a drain pipe, but a large rock.
