- Totally agree on flashing—had a leak once that drove me nuts until I realized it was actually wind-driven rain sneaking under loose shingles.
- Also worth checking gutter alignment...overflow can mimic roof leaks too.
- Roofs definitely have their own twisted humor, lol.

Good point about gutters, but honestly, I've found attic ventilation issues can be even sneakier. Had a client once convinced their roof was leaking—turned out it was condensation buildup from poor ventilation. Roofs aren't just twisted humor, they're masters of disguise, lol. Worth taking a peek up there to rule that out before you dive into bigger repairs.
Totally agree about ventilation being tricky. Had a similar issue last year—thought for sure we had a leak, turned out the soffit vents were blocked up by insulation. Cleared those out, added a few ridge vents, and problem solved. Roof issues can really mess with your head...hang in there, you'll figure it out soon enough.
Ventilation definitely helps, but sometimes it's just a band-aid fix. Had a similar issue myself—thought it was ventilation too, but turns out shingles were installed wrong. Worth double-checking installation quality before assuming it's airflow...just my two cents.

Good point about the shingles. Had a similar mystery myself—thought it was ventilation too, but turns out the flashing around my chimney was letting moisture sneak in. Roofs can be sneaky like that...
