I have installed a hemmed panel, meaning the bottom edge is bent 180 degrees and slid over a cleat instead of being screwed down in mastic. I am experiencing leaks in the valleys. I have found holes at the panel ribs but am not sure of a product to use to seal this hole that is the size of a ball on a ball point pen. Any suggestions?
I am also concerned that expansion is causing gaps between the panel and the cleat that the panel is hemmed on. Do you know is there a type of tape like sealant other than mastic that could be used to seal the bottom of the panel to the W flashing in the valley?

There are butyl sealants which adhere to most paint systems well and are durable.
Also, there are butyl tape sealants available. Sika Flex makes a lot of them I believe.
Are you certain the leak is in the valley and not from somehere else.
