I thought my metal roof had a serious leak problem and just about opened the cabover ceiling to see what was wrong. However, I finally deduced that there could be no leak in the metal or in the cap so it had to be the joint. Removal of the old caulking made caulking defects visible. Fresh caulking and a strip of 4 inch eternabond for the full length of the join seems to have fully dealt with the leaking.
Got another leak into the back of the fridge last summer. Quite a bit of water, clearly coming down from the fridge roof vent. Caulking problems there, too, under the big plastic vent cover. I caulked. At the first sign of trouble, I will remove the top piece and replace the caulking between the metal roofing and the plastic insert holding the screen instead of just caulking around it.
