Baffled by roof leak!

On my 1993 Chateau I have a roof leak that I just cant find. Myself and a friend got down on our hands and knees and searched every inch of the roof and cant find the leak. I checked all of the regular places like the seams and edges and all of the areas around the vents in the area. Yesterday I gave in and put a new coat of roof sealer on the entire top and went back this morning and applied a second coat. I'm hoping it's fixed but I sure would like to know where the leak is is coming from. Any ideas of where else I might have overlooked?

    The apply a positive pressure has merit with one addition soapy water, bubbles are easy to find!

    Did you remove A/C and do under it also?

    i have heard of people pressurizing the interior with a big fan then spraying soapy water around points of entry.
