Hello
Was the metal roof installed over an old roof? if so the leak could be a long way from where it is coming inside.
Can you get in the attic and see where the water is coming in? Is there snow on the roof now? if not you can get help
and in the area of the leak take your time, work slowly up the roof with a water hose have some one inside looking to see where and when it comes in. Have them yell out shut the water off and let it sit and see how long it takes for the water to stop, then turn the water back on only in the area
where the water was runing when it first came in. this take time and you realy have to watch where and how you the water runs on the out side you may have to do it several time to pin it down. good luck
