Put something directly below the leak to catch any water that escapes, even if it’s not actively leaking at the moment. You never know when it could start, so put a large bucket or tub beneath the leak on top of the tarp. Do not let the leak go on for hours without a fix. If ...
The vent run needs to be designed to drain any condensate outside not back into the bathroom ceiling; in a freezing climate I'd insulate such a vent line as well; If we run a bath vent vertically up through a roof we have two risks I'd prefer to avoid: A vertical bath exhaust fan...
