We're in Southern California where we have not had heavy rain for a long time. We had no leaks during the little rains but this time there is a leak. 
It's around the fireplace, an area that was fixed a few years back.
We've decide we just need to get the new roof. Partly because of that and partly because of your comments (thanks!) about prospective buyers maybe not being able to get a loan, insurance, etc. We hadn't thought about that. One insurer wouldn't insure us when we bought the house because the roof was so old. That was in 2003!
We've already put in new windows and doors all around, new exterior paint, a new heating/cooling unit and are in the middle or installing a new bathroom. So we may as well do the roof and be in the position to get a good offer.
I've got a lot of little cosmetic changes I want to make. I'll be posting for advice on those soon.
