I have a wood stove and the piping is leaking right at the spot it comes through the ceeiling. It leaking around the pipe. I don't use the stove due to the location of my computer and TV. I have the cap blocked off but water is still coming in. where could this be coming from

It is leaking right where it comes in to the ceiling. I don't have the stove anymore and I have the top covered. Where could the water leak be coming from?

It is coming from the roof. What type of roof do you have?

The water is coming in from around the bottom of the vent pipe on the roof. You need to get up on the roof and properly seal it with roof tar or the water intrusion into your ceiling and roof will get worse.

Four sided angle roof shingled. I tarred all around the shingles and pipe yesterday

I did tar it all yesterday

OK I've tarred all the way around all the shingles and it still leaks. I also have the hole in the ceiling covered in plastic and can see when the wind blows out side. Could the pipe have a bad seal?
