I’m assuming there’s a rafter tail above the OSB that’s above the soffit panel. So even if you cut that OSB you’ll have the rafter tail to deal with. How does the roof meet the exterior wall above there? Is there flashing? Could that be where the water is intruding? The sheathing and foam was installed before the siding trim and gutters were there so it’s hard to imagine you getting any easy access unless you’re willing to cut a lot of things off and re build them.

Good point on three rafter tail. I’ll look in the attic in that area to confirm.

Yeah there’s flashing above there and it’s possible this is the source of the leak.

I’m afraid what I’m going to have to do is take all the siding off above here to expose the flashing and inspect it and repair. Then to remove and fix the rot I’m gonna have to take everything apart to get into that area behind the soffit - remove the gutter, fascia, etc to gain proper access

Sounds like you’re probably have to start heading that direction and stop If you find out it’s wrong.
