Just noticed our upstairs bathroom AC Vent is leaking (not the one with the fan connected, just the one that leads through the metal vent grill/flapper and into the ducts.

First I'm I've noticed it.

Is this something I should try fixing myself, or should I just call an AC specialist/some sort of specialist?

What do you think is most likely the problem?

Pic semi related, but not the vent in question.

If your ductwork is poorly insulated it's possible that it can condensate water and "leak" while in cooling. You could go in the attic and check if is even insulated.

Like >>1171222 said, it could be an insulation issue or the ducts could be improperly sized and the airflow is off. either one of those options is a decently simple fix, just requires some labor. Wrapping ductwork does suck balls though, you'll be itchy by the end.
