Hi All,
In last couple of weeks i have noticed some water dripping from my window beading (when it's raining) and would greatly appreciate if someone can please give some advise:
I have upvc tilt and turn window. it has two doors on top and two bottom glasses which are sealed.
Please see picture below:

I spotted some water leaking from low bead as marked up in red circles below:

I then removed the lower right beading to further investigate:

I poured some water in the channel 1 & 2 to test the drain holes. All drain holes worked fine but i believe water seeps through holes circled in pink and runs down to the bottom as shown in picture below:

Zoomed in picture of below beading:

This is also happening on the left hand side of this window. I have exactly the same window in the living room with holes visible but i don't have any leakage.
I have another type of window (which doesn't have bottom sealed glasses) in bedroom and noticed that the corners are sealed by some plastic stiff material as shown in picture below:

can someone please advise what should i do to resolve this issue?
