   Without pictures or more information it will be tought to get good answers.

   window frame is well caulked.

   Caulk may look good but still leak.

   My guess is that the brick is leaking somewhere above the windows.

   But my latest experience with a brick building was a 1930s brick building and a flat roof. The leaking came from cracked mortor joints and a poorly sealed parapet wall on the roof.

   I am going to go out on a limb here but if it is leaking between the window and the extention jamb then there is a good possiblity that it is leaking above the window.

   I hope this helps.

   Lack of thru flashing and weeps in the brick are probably at fault. But w/out a picture we're all guessing as much as anything.

   Put up some pics.
   I'd venture to say it's probably the flashing
   or missing mortar on the bricks.

   I would venture to say that ALL doesn't have any pics of the problem.

   Maybe Karl does.  LOL

   Actually, with wind-driven rain flashing can actually be the problem. It's possible to have rain driven under the flashing above the window and from there into the structure.

   But as the others have said, it's hard to say without a close examination. (And even then, water can do some strange things.)
