When I had felt roof I always bitumen painted all joints then no leeks if you can find leak you can use hot candle wax to seal it then put a square of new felt over top and bitumen paint it around edges to create a good seal , I am so glad got a tiled roof best thing I've done

Take of all the old felt,purchase a drum of cold bitumen/tar ,spread it from front to back 1metre wide then lay a pre-cut length of felt on,only nail at overlap on front back and side of roof NO NAILS ON TOP

Then spread tar to width of next strip remember all felt is laid from front to back and not length-wise

Just but strips together then when finished cut 9 inch strips you will get 4 from a roll width,tar those over the joints,Remember no nails on the top,Your roof will now remain watertight for a least 25 years

One final point use a good quality green mineral felt,best to ask a roofing contractor if you no one.

Good Luck .
