I’d guarantee your wall assembly is essentially this then:
Ext
- Vinyl siding
- Tyvek or similar product
- Sheathing, either 1/2” plywood or OSB
- 2x6 Studs
- R12 or R14 Fibreglass batt insulation
- 6mil Poly vapour /air
barrier
- 1/2” gypsum board
Whether your electrical outlets are vapour sealed is unknown. I can’t remember at the moment what year that came into code.
In any event, you shouldn’t find water pouring down the outside walls no matter what. Hope you get some answers from the envelope perspective. Please report back what you find or don’t find!
