We had the same problem in our motorhome. Wall was wet right in the middle below the window and you would have sworn it was the window leaking. It was outside - bad caulk on a seam.
BINGO I removed all of the old sealant on the roof seam I thought looked good and resealed with proflex. It rained hard today and it's dry ! I don't know why the paneling wasn't wet above the window and my back is still sore days later.

Harbor Freight sells a small blower and even a tube for mounting: Ventilator. It is enough air to do a pressure test. I'd suggest to do the test.
Also occurs to me that if you had silicone sealant, originally, and now are using butyl tape, there may be water passing between the two.
Thanks. I'll consider that fan for the next leak. :B
I removed all the silicone the first time the window was out. I had more luck with my fingernail and a eraser.
