Reply to comment by UnofficialSlimShady in Leaky ceiling, poked a hole in the ceiling with a screwdriver, and after 15 minutes the dripping stopped. What's going on? by UnofficialSlimShady

Tarp or if the leak spot is obvious get a tube of roofing caulk (black stuff) from your local home improvement store and temporarily seal it.

Go in the attic in the daytime and turn off your flashlight in the attic and see if you see any daylight (such as plumbing vents). If light comes in water can too.

Typical leak spots are where there are interruptions in your roof, such as vents, chimneys, etc.
