Water damage. You have a leak.

The stains are from years ago and not since i put the new stuff on last week or so.

 

[HERTS P&D]

So they are old stain marks?

No mate, if the water is getting through that felt (and looking like it must be) I'll do more Acrypol-Flashband and Acrypol.

 

[HERTS P&D]

So you know what to do then???

Perhaps they are nails. Try them with a magnet. There obviously is, or has been, a water leak, which would make them go rusty.

I'm thoroughly confused....

Water will often travel after it gets through whatever is retaining it, so stains on ceilings and walls are not necessarily caused by leaks directly above where the stains are

Edit- so those stains were probably caused by the rotten felt and huge holes you posted about a few days ago

Well the water stains from the roof leak are so obvious that he can't possibly be asking about them.

I was referring to the dot marks.
