Leaking Carport Roof

We've moved and have inherited a 16x32 carport that we are using for a goat shelter. It's not in bad shape and if we don't try any major modifications it should last a long time. But it does have a leak in the roofing which is some type of material that comes in a roll. When the weather dries out is there something I can apply to the roof that will seal minor leaks?

Thanks, Tom

you can get roof patch tar at any home improvement store. if only a small amount is needed, get the tube. if you need a lot, get the bucket and apply it with a disposable putty knife. wear old clothes and old gloves, cause whatever it gets on it will NOT come out of!
