I just found out with this recent down pouring of rain, my roof AC unit is leaking. I wasn't able to find any info on a search so any suggestions would be appreciated.

Is the plastic roof cap (dome ) in tact?

Yes, check that the plastic cover is not cracked. If ok, remove interior cover and tighten bolts which should squeeze the rubber gasket to the point where it doesn't leak. You might need to replace the gasket if it is old and hard but try tightening bolts first.

I just had the same thing done on my AC. It was the gasket and after tightening it down, there were no more leaks.
