Do you have downspouts draining into the weeping tile? Mine had that when I moved in, and occasionally caused water to pour through a foundation crack. Fixing that reduced the issue. Last fall I used the Sikkens foundation crack filler kit, and it's been dry throguh this wet year. I assume your walls are finished, but I wouldn't be surprised if you have a leaky crack.
We were without downspouts for the last couple of months due to getting the siding replaced and the contractors screwing up and throwing the old ones away instead of re-installing them. So that's fixed now and the downspouts point well away from that window, but now the neighbors are getting their siding done and they have no downspouts, so all the water from their roof is coming straight down to that area. Not much I can do about that, and of course they're getting stucco done which is taking forever with all this #### weather
