So where should vinyl window drain holes be relative to the brick sill?

Um let me think ... tap ...tap ...tap!

If the window is installed correctly, the weep holes are on the bottom
of the window.
And they drip ONTO the sill (which slopes away from the window) - NOT
behind the sill -for what would appear to be VERY obvious reasons.


To clarify what I am asking -- here is a photo...

Please post a stand-back wider photo view for some perspective. I see
the "drain" but need more.

My feeling is that these windows were not installed correctly. My
feeling is that there should be room for a bead of caulk between
the bottom of the vinyl window and the brick.
