When I first moved in to my Nehalem house it had a couple roof leaks. There is no attic and I couldn’t figure out how water was getting in. Then I noticed a leak in my shop which does have an attic and found that the sink vent pipe was not securely joined together. I placed u-joint pipes over all my vents and no more leaks. Over one hundred inches of water going down an 1.5 inch diameter pipe adds up. I forced some hardware cloth into the opening to prevent rodents from entering or cavity nesting birds from thinking it might be a good opportunity. Maybe this will help someone.
