At the very very least, pull the trim ring (on the inside) around the skylight and inspect what can be inspected. My hunch is that you'll have no trouble deciding to walk at that point. At least on my motorhome, this inspection would involve the removal of a total of four little screws and maybe five or ten minutes total.
If it's what you've been looking for, at least do this. You can tell a whole lot by looking at the condition of the wood etc after you pull the trim ring.
But generally it's best to keep looking. Not many people know leaks will happen, watch for them and proactively stop them.
the other way to play it is (if you really know what you are doing) is to use it as a negotiation tool if you've identified the "damage" as within your abilities to repair. YMMV on this one.
