Wellp, I had the A/C people over and they cleaned out the condensate drain line (the duct people haven't shown up yet). However... before the serviceman started, he told me that the leak could not possibly be the condensate line. It wasn't backed up and was draining just fine, and was nowhere near the ceiling where the water came through. Even if the water came from the line and followed gravity to that area, there was no sign of any wetness on the floor anywhere around the drain line, and there *was* wetness outside where it was properly draining. So now the question still is, what was causing the leak. Maybe my original theory is right and condensation in the vent system is causing it. Or maybe it is the roof as I thought initially (and as the A/C man told me). But if it's the roof, then why did it start leaking when it wasn't raining? The duct people are on their way, and as I said, I'm having it cleaned whether that's the problem or not (for everyone's health).
Between the A/C servicing and the roof replacement, the ceiling leak should go away once and for all, unless I have a water ghost. But just to be safe, I'm getting drain pans under the condensate line and under the hot water heater. Drain pans with water level alarms (otherwise known as ceiling savers)... To be done after recuperating from zombie roof outlay...
