Condensation or roof leak?

Posted by Gary Outram, on
I think I have some condensation on a ceiling. Patches of mold have formed and water can be seen on the surface, similar to condensation on a window. This is forming immediately below a steel joist at the roof apex, there is little or no roof void above, just the ridge tiles. I believe there is no insulation between the ceiling and the joist, the ceiling is cold to touch relative to areas away from the joist. How can I confirm it is condensation and not a leaking roof.
