Hi all, I've had water leaking into my basement with every rain and finally determined that it's due to the sliding glass door on the rear of my house. Now I'm trying to remedy this problem. I've also determined the general area of the problem using the hose test, but I'm not 100% of the exact leak culprit location. Pouring water in the track leads to water up against the side with the latch, much of which leaks out of the weep hole and down to the porch, but some of which is going inside, rotting out the subfloor, and leaking down into the basement. I'm assuming the water is getting in where I've circled in red. Should this appear to be so... open? Is the remedy to fill this whole area with caulk on the bottom? Is there another solution? Or, if that's maybe not the location, what is? Is it possible for the track itself to just be leaking without any obvious holes or cracks?

I am going to be putting a new roof on my house and have an issue. I was just wondering what someone would do in this situation. The attached diagram is what is currently on my house and shows all of the components and they are to scale, with maybe the exception of the nail. This problem, in case it isn’t obvious, is that the drip edge has no place to nail or screw to. It would be in the gap between the fascia and the roof sheathing. So how do you fix this, with these limitations; the drip edge indicated in the diagram has to be used. I cannot get anything else. It's a steel shingle system and this is the starter that has to be used. And the fascia and soffit has to remain as is. The sheathing cannot be redone.
