Window that leaks, replace or repair?

Question

My window above the kitchen sink leaks. I pulled the window and resealed it to the RV thinking it was that area that was leaking. Next camping trip out it rained one day and we have water comming in again. the weap holes appear to be open and fine. I blew air through them when I had the window out. It leaves a brown stain everywhere the water runs. I believe the window itself is leaking and I will need to get it replaced or resealed. Any recomendations? I live in Oregon.

I rarely post anymore but may be able to help so here goes.
Buddy had a new RV with a window that kept leaking. Like yours, nothing was obvious so we removed it and found the leak.
The aluminum frame is an exruded piece that's formed to fit. Where the two ends come together there will be some goop to seal it. If there's a pin hole, bubble or you can see any of the end of the aluminum, it will leak there.
All his needed was a dot of sealant to cover a tiny hole, which we could have done without even removing it.
So just look for where the two ends come together.

It is also possible that there is a leak in the ROOF above where the window is......and it is running down the inside of the wall.
