<prompt> Human: The leak is very small right now, and were likely to sell our house in the next 3 years. I dont think itll get much worse in that time, so should I bother? Part of me wants to pretend I never saw it...  <response>: Just get it fixed. Any home inspector worth a damn will find it leaky roofs leave a lot of evidence, even if mold or something really bad doesnt start growing. Dark spots on joists, stainedpealing paint, compacted insulation, etc... and will advise the purchaser to ask you to fix it anyway, as a condition of sale. It wont cost that much to have it patched.
