So where should vinyl window drain holes be relative

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.

I'm wondering if the weep holes may be clogged. Ordinarily,
replacement vinyl window are caulked with some beads of
silicone before the window is set in the RO. Yes, some window
installers are paid by piece work. A sign of no quality in
'attention to detail'. Fly by night crooks.

As to caulking the outside bottom, clean out along the bottom,
cut the tip small on a caulk tube and run a small bead along
the outside bottom.

These were the original windows in the house, and the installers
apparently used mortar around them rather than caulk. I will
certainly do my best to add caulk, but there is very little room
for caulk, especially around the window drains. Also I do not
know if there is water damage inside the wall since the brick
veneer lacks weep holes.

I'm getting confused. The windows have weep holes to drain. Why does
the brick veneer have to have one. The window drips onto the sill and
away or evaporates in little time.
