Leak Under Sunroom Exterior Wall On Slab


I have a leak under the exterior wall of my sunroom. It look as if the leak is coming in through the corner of the exterior walls but on top of the slab. I tried corking it but the leak is still there. Any one have any ideas

What's the deal then? What's on that wall? Is there a window, an eave, what kind of siding? is this slab on grade? is there heavy landscaping?
As for electric advice everyone in that forum would immediatly tell you to call a proffessional to come to the job. I learned my lesson. That funny.

Personally, I would let this post die, & stick with this one HELP!!! Leak under exterior wall on slab that was mostly in the helping mood. Next you need to fill in your location in your profile - if your in Florida, people wont be talking about ice dams, or vice versa. Also update that post with all the info asked for in this one.

The reason you are getting called out is - new poster, no intro & it smells like your a HO (Homeowner)
