When you say the window is leaking from the top, do you mean from above the window frame? If you can get a clear idea of where water seems to be leaking and how it is leaking it can help with finding someone. It might be a simple as needing new caulk, or you might need to have the window replaced or if its particularly bad pull the section of the wall around it. If you have any electrical outlets in the areas where you think water is getting in, stop using them as well to be safe.

Yeah, it's from above the window itself. You can see when it rains that water drips down from the top of the window frame, but there's no clear indication of where it's actually leaking from. It doesn't just leak from one hole or anything though, water drips down across the entire width of the window.

At the very least, the window itself definitely needs replaced, as well as the frame around it. They're old wooden windows so it's obvious that they're too damaged to be fixed at this point. We're not sure about the wall, we're just able to tell that it's gotten wet because the paint has little cracks and tiny bubbles on it so it's more than likely damaged some too. It's a brick house so we can't tell anything from the outside.

Luckily there aren't any outlets on that wall though, it's just our sink sitting under 2 windows with a cabinet on the wall in the corner
