We had a window installed a year or so ago.
It's clearly leaking left and right side.
The original installer has visited a second time and put more sealant on to no effect.
I've climbed up to look and it all looks well sealed each side. However the window is clearly at an angle sloping inward from the bottom.
So it seems to me water will run down the window and therefore the interface where the sealant brick meet and I'd guess the brick is porus enough to let water through. Could that be the explanation?
Here's a rough diagram blue indicates damp, small amounts of water also ends up on the sill itself so it's certainly letting water in:

The pointing is shot - it's possible some water could be coming from that, but there's no doubt the window is letting water in.
The water coming in seems to be fanning out improbably widely. Is that normal?
Any comments?
TIA.
