Got a sliding patio door leaking inside on both corners. Think it may be to do with the weep hole in the door track. Problem is I can't see anywhere on the outside for the water to come out of. The weep hole on the inside is about the same level as the sill on the outside so I'm assuming the water must come out from under the sill somehow.

Been experimenting this afternoon by pouring some water down the weep hole and seeing if I could see where it was supposed to come out. Eventually so did drip out of the end cap on the sill. Worryingly not as much as I poured in. Wonder if anyone has any knowledge of these pvc patio doors with no weep hole on the outside and how they are supposed to work, or where the water is supposed to exit from?
