Heres one for all you guys, getting a nice rain shower outside and some what inside as well, there is a great deal of water comming in from outside in where the modeling connects to the jam of the window (only one thank god) I've got three cups sitting on the sill catching the water and I plan on staying up to empty them. Any idea of where the water is comming from, this is on the east side of the home, the prevailing winds come from the west which is where this storm has com from.

Thanks

You didn"t say what kind of window (wood sash, metal etc) but by all means carefully check the attic, especially if there"s an attic or dormer window above your "leaking" window. My daughters place had a leaking window on the stormy side that they sealed and resealed, but didn"t cure until they went up and pulled wallboard off around the bottom of the attic window. It was the one leaking, the water somehow coming down inside the wall (without wetting or staining thru the wall) until it leaked out around the first floor window. Good luck.

It may be comming from the top of the window and running down inside the jambs. The outside top should have a trim called a drip cap or flashing that directs water off of the top exterior molding. Door and window (polyurethane based) caulk will dothe job if it is dry when fixed. (or remove the trim and install new drip cap). ROasting pans have larger capacity than cups, and can be moved close!!! JimN
