One problem with roof leaks is that they often are a distance away from
where you see it. I'd take a look at the flashing around the fan for step
one as flashing is a common place to start. If that proves to be the
problem, you may have some good life left in the roof. Check for any
visible cracks that may have opened up. Bubbles and bulges are signs of
problems also.

Upstream and across 1 joist in each direction there is NOTHING. No vents,
no chimney,
no penetrations of any kind, right to the peak. However, there is a vent
hood RIGHT BESIDE
where i've determined the water is coming in. I'm betting money its time
for a new
vent hood.

There are some roof coatings that may buy you some time, but in general,
that time is a year or two. You'd be wise to start saving for a new hot
coating before long.

This being a sloped and shingled roof, the above doesn't apply
