Here's to hoping it's the nail hole!!

You are proceeding on a fool's errand dabbing some roofing cement on
the nail head and thinking that will solve your problem. It might
temporarily stop the leak, if indeed that is the sole cause of the
leak, but if the nail did work it's way up through the shingle, it
will do it again through the roofing cement.

If it makes you feel any better there are a whole boatload of really
bad roofers that would treat your problem the same way you are
heading.

You had some requests for additional information, and instead provided
another real estate listing picture. That is odd since it would be
very easy for you to take pictures now that you know how to post
them. Pictures with actual information of the problem area.

If the roofing tar on the nail stops the leak he knows what needs to
be fixed next year. If it doesn't, he knows that is NOT the problem.

Would be good if he had a way to know FOR SURE if the leak is stopped
- i.e. - be able to get into the attic to confirm.
