Water leak near port stern window H54 # 28

Exuberant has a leak in this area. I believe that the leak is inside the Dorade because if I cover the dorade with a plastic bag during rainy weather then the leak quits. I have covered the floor inside the dorade with epoxy without fixing the problem. I'm still experimenting with fixes.

With the damage starting at the side of the portlight that is the likely source. If it were a deck leak you would see damage above the window. Duct tape the outside until it is warm enough for sealant to cure.

Hi, we've noticed a bit of water damage fwd of the port stern window in the aft master. We're in the Great Lakes so the boat is out of the water Oct-May. I'm trying to figure out where the water is coming from. It could be the window, but it also could be something on the deck.  Here's a picture of it.

Has anyone had anything like this? Any idea where the water may be coming from if not the window?

Thanks, Yan
