Conservatory window leak

Hi,
Every time it rains I have a leak coming in from my conservatory windows. I’ve drawn a blue circle where the leak comes in. Does anybody know how to fix this issue? Could it be the seals? Would I need new seals or could I fill in the corners from the outside with some filler?
Thank you

Water is finding a way past the rubber gasket possibly where the corners have shrunk and pulled away, unfortunately though water can be getting in somewhere else and running inside the hollow chambered pvc profile and building up till it finds an egress point which by all accounts is through the V weld, pvc profiles do have built in drainage which should stop this though. Unfortunately you'll need to remove the glass to check whether the drainage slots have been become blocked with silicone, insects, general dirt/moss, if your not confident in removing the glass yourself you may need to get a window doctor in would deglaze and inspect and clean out and test the drainage.

Where are you based.....roughly, just county, no need for street name and number
 
Many thanks for the reply, there are gaps in the rubber seals were they meet in the corners. I’ve poured water through the gap and water has leaked in.
I’m in Lancashire
 
Did it leak out though through the gap between the frame and cill on the outside, that's the exit point of the drainage, if it's going in but not coming out then there's a problem
 
No it didn’t leak on the outside, just the inside. I pored the water in the corner of the outside window were the seal has shrunk and it leaked in the same place as in the original picture.
 
Then you have a problem, you could try sealng the corners with some black silicone in the hope of stopping more water getting in and hoping whats already in there drying out
