Kitchen window leak

Sorry for all the rookie questions but just trying to fix anything before it's bad. I found a couple trickles coming from under my kitchen window in my 2017 jayflight 264bhs. Is that a gasketing issue where I should replace the window or what is possible im looking at. I just sealed my windows and compartments last week so it's nothing like that im assuming. Thanks for anyone's help.

Those rubber foam seal are prone to leak, I replaced mine with automotive butyl tape, is available in grey or black.

Thanks for the info. Im getting the idea that's what I have to do. How long did it take you to reseal one window would you say?

Assuming non-frameless windows its very easy. Watch a u-tube video, but essentially you unscrew from the inside and the two pieces come apart. Have someone outside in case the outside portion falls away. Use butyl tape on the outside to seal all around and put it back together. 10 minute job, I would say.

I've never done it on a frameless, they are likely similar, but I don't know.

Thanks for the info spoon. Yea I'll have to try that out. It's a real small trickle and pretty slow so I want to catch it now.

Like Spoon says, pretty easy job. My windows had flimsy foam gaskets and the butyl tape is great.
A word of caution tho, the leak could from the roof sealant and traveling thru the wall looking for an exit (the window). Before removing the window I’d suggest a roof inspection.
