Whatever this thing is - just some sort of blanking plate when a chimney was removed? - we get a small leak from just above it in heavy rain. We've had the ridgeline repointed, which seems to have done FA...

Given that, is it worth putting some flashing tape around the felt on the inside? Or would that just cause water to pool elsewhere?

It's a universal vent . Universal but don't fit well with stonewolds . Get the ridge tiles above the vent and see what's going on . Fit some new felt in that area at the same time.

Fyi , pointing ridge is a waste on money.
