HI, might someone quaulified be kind enough to tell me if tge attached photos, of my 4 year old garage roof is showing signs of leaking or condensation? Also, there are gaps between the top curved tiles and should the bottom row of tiles be exposed more than the rest of the tiles are? Sorry if not using the correct term of name. Thank you.

LEAKING ROOF OR CONDENSATION?

OP,
You seem to have minor condensation - the dry fix ridge will help with venting the roof - the dry ridge membrane will catch & dispose of water getting thro the gap in the tiles.
The bottom course of tiles is "more exposed" but its just about doing its job.
The battens were laid out slightly wrong.

Looks like condensation spots.
The ridge look like they have suffered a bit of ex/con or were poorly fitted. There is a weathering roll fitted prior to the ridge, that should help weather any rain which also looks like its lifting.
The eaves course look like they could have benefitted from a deeper fascia. Careless clumsy lazy from the roofers.
Condensation is not a defect. The membrane should be breathable and if so will be allowing condensation moisture to pass outward
The membrane should sag, and you may like to fit some polystyrene wedges in the laps to aid ventilation.
The ridge would normally have some membrane beneath the tiles to deal with water being in the joints. You don't appear to have water penetration from the ridge.
