[QUOTE="Parks 788, post: 3245631, member: 14646"] As others said it looks like your seem is the culprit. Your roof pitch looks fairly shallow so the seem on the vertical vent pipe facing the up hill part of the roof shouldn't be an issue as your rubber gasket on the sheet metal rides up high enough to deflect the run off. My guess is the least bit of wind blown rain that hits the side of the vent pipe with the seem gets water inside the house to cause the leak. I'd use some time of high temp silicone sealant on the entire seam of the vent pipe, top to bottom. Getting a wide sheet metal flange to put near the top of the pipe and then sealed would help too. sort of like an umbrella for your pipe.
