Okay, I tried to install a Deflecto Roof Vent for my bath fan. I guess the hole was probably too big and a bit of the corrugated hose managed to get under the flashing while I was installing. Wet/dry black jack used to try solving leak problem. Didn't help one bit. I am really not sure how the water is getting in.

So, The weather is getting worse and I am getting a bunch of water in my drip pan under the hole in the attic.

Is it too cold to yank the Deflecto Vent and cover the hole with aluminumn, tarpaper, and shingles? It will be 35-39 tomorrow. Snow will come this weekend.
