Shonky workmanship
Can you see something wrong with the air conditioner?
Hint: every time it rains heavily, we get excessive water leaks into the house. We always thought that it was the gutter but it wasn’t.Visit my website at www.myFineWoodWork.com

Lets guess.
Sloping ac prevents water draining from centre drain resulting in water build up in down hill edge which leaks to the inside of the house.:confused:
Solution. Drill a hole in the bottom edge.

the bog (sealant) on the aircon that seals the unit to the wall "doesnt" - either perished, not waterproof or something like that.

Looks to me like the vents down the side are facing the wrong way:eek:. So either your hole AC unit is upside down (but I'm figuring you would notice that on the inside of the house) or the casing on the back has been put on upside down.:confused:

First problem - The AC is located under a downpipe/guttering so in heavy rain the guttering may overflow onto the AC. Second problem is the angle of the AC means that the water accumates inside the unit and flows back into the house. Do I get a greenie?

The vents look very much like they were installed - or maybe the whole unit - upside down.
Cheers

Hey Wongo! Some bustard has drawn all over your house since your first photo! I hate graffiti - so inconsiderate.
