Was on my roof cleaning pine needles and noticed that my roof had a number of exposed nails that have neoprene washers near flashing and on the last ridge shingle on each peak.
Should I seal over these with roofing tar or will the washer be sufficient protection? There is no signs of leaking from inside the attic and the roof is ~ 5 years old

The point of the neoprene is to make the seal. No additional sealant is typically required.
