My uncle gave me a metal roof he took off his house. It was on his house for two weeks. Im afraid that if I put it on and use the same holes it will leak around the screws. My question is will it leak? If so, is there anyway to put it on so it won't leak?

If you re-use the previous fastener holes/locations, there is no reason that it should not be as watertight as before. I would not re-use the fasteners. Good underlayment and off you go. Eric Novotny

Try to use bigger diameter screws from what were initially used. Todd Miller
