Hi JEdgmon,
RE: Home Warranty coverage - You'll have to talk to your Insurer about that. The worst they can say is no. File anyway ...
I'm going to assume that you see this problem in the winter. Assuming that, heat is leaking from the living space up into the attic. Find the LOWEST-hanging sheathing nail and start your investigation into the leak straight down from that nail. Since heat rises, the nails 'above' the plane-line of the lowest nail may show the same rust marks.
The only other possibility is that there's a leak in/amongst the shingles at, or ABOVE, the lowest-hanging nail. Water could be running down either under the shingles or under the paper, and at the nail(s) that's leaking, it's coming in at that point because that's the least point of resistance/entry for the water to follow. That's a larger headache to solve because the water-path could be horizontal or angled, not just directly from above.
Other than that, maybe somone else has some thoughts. My best to ya and hope this helps.
