Default Roof repair - "ponding"

Reaching out as I have an issue with my 2003 TM roof. There is a very small leak - small enough that during a prolonged, heavy rain, there is no visible running water type leak - it's a leak that gradually works it's way into the wood frame around the vents. Over a couple of hours, a drip will appear at that point.

When inspecting that area on top of the trailer, I see a couple of potential issues. (See pics)
1) There is an obvious low spot on the outer shell near the vents. It's about 1/2" low and creates "ponding" near the vent seal.
2) It also appears the lap sealant is pretty old and is showing some cracking.
3) Also dimpling that looks like it's from hail damage.

Any ideas on how to correct the ponding issue? Use a bondo and re-float the area to bring to level and then overcoat with lap sealant? Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks!
