If you know where the water is getting in, do a temporary repair with duct tape. Its wide grey or black heavy tape, B&Q, Halfords or any diy shop will have it.

Clean the surface and apply with some heat from a hairdryer. It won't come off easily then. In fact you'll be cursing my suggestion when you come to reseal as it'll take ages cleaning the tape residue off.
