Default Skylight leak, 2nd post (with pics)

I started removing the wet sheetrock around my skylight to try and
find out exactly where the leak is coming from. I found the leak
coming from the bottom 2 corners of the skylight. It might be hard to
see in the pics, but there is an opening in the corner with what
appears to be some yellow caulking inside.

I confirmed this by spraying a garden hose on the roof on the bottom
corners of the glass, and my son inside confirmed the leak was coming
from those 2 gaps in the corners.

So my question is, what are these 2 openings for? I would like to fix
the leak before I go ahead and finish the sheetrock. I thought about
maybe caulking those 2 openings on the inside, but it is obvious the
leak is coming from the outside on the glass. Can the seals be
replaced? It is at least 20 years old.
