Is this a fixed window or one that opens?
If it's a fixed window, I suspect that the metal frame is a single piece of metal that goes all the way around. If it opens, it may possibly be built up, at least where the sliding and fixed portions meet (assuming it's a slider). There are a fair few different makes and models of RV windows, though, so making blanket statements is rather dangerous.
Since you speak of weep holes, I'm guessing this is not a fixed window. There's no great need to have drains for water in the frame of a fixed window since water theoretically cannot get between the glass and the window frame due to the adhesive goop that attaches the glass.
On my windows, one can see (a portion of) the metal frame of the outer portion easily from the inside behind the compression/mounting ring.
It's not all that uncommon for leaks to develop between the outer flange of the window unit and the siding of the RV, and the solution there is to remove the window, clean, and reinstall with good new butyl caulking tape.
I do also agree with the others that the leak could be elsewhere and the water travel a good distance before you notice it.
