So I have two curb mount skylights on my house, both located on a vaulted living room roof. I have a leak in the bottom corner of one of them. I had similar problem last year right after a large amount of snow was melting off, after it dried up, no leak, even when it rained. I have been up there and there is a fair amount of "BlackJack" on top of both. My hunch tells me it is the snow sitting on the upper ridge of the curb, melts runs down under the flashing and batta boom, leak. How would I go about removing/replacing the flashing kits on these turkeys, without reroofing the entire roof? Thanks!

i have an asphalt roof with a leak. i repaired with that black tar roof patch stuff several months back and have laid plastic down in my attic to catch any leakage getting through. i check it periodically and its usually fine, but after all day rains or heavy down pours there usually is about a 1/2 gallon collected on the plastic. i need a few month temp fix before i can get it completely replaced. should i re apply more tar and reinforce my plastic rain barrier in the attic; or replace the shingles in that area. when i applied the tar the 1st time; i applies it in a 4'x4' area to ensure i covered; i'm afraid i cannot replace the small area of shingles in this area because if the tar (im also not too comfortable replacing the shingles myself) is this an easy job should i break down and pay for a temp fix then replace it in two or three month? any sugguestions would be great thanks JC
