Chimney flashing leak
During yesterday's heavy rain, I used the opportunity to go up in my crawl-space attic and check for leaks. I found a very minor one where a small amount of water was coming in down the chimney. It appears it is coming in behind the step-flashing. What kind of sealant should I use up there to seal that up? I just purchased some "Gutter and Flashing" sealant for another job, would that work ok for this job?

While your up there besure and check on the cement cap on top of the chimney. Lots of time this is where water can get down in and run in the bricks to make it look like its the flashing.
