Unless your furnace flue/water heater etc, use the same stack, a quick cheap
test- buy a cheap tarp, and cap the chimney for a month or so, and see if
the leak stops. (If the neighbors complain, explain that it is temporary.)
Since fireplace season is over, and the spring rains are due to start soon,
this should tell you if water is coming from the top.
The vinyl siding is, IMHO, a bad idea. Siding isn't watertight, there is no
good way to attach to brick w/o making problem worse, and it will make the
eventual fix more expensive. When you repointed the mortar, did you
perchance block any weep holes?
