Leak near upvc door

sol2017

Hi all, I'm trying to identify the source of water leak near the upvc door at the back of my house. The damp patch becomes obvious when it's raining, so I was thinking it could be failing sealant around the door frame. But the other day I noticed that the door panel (the bit that can be replaced) has cracked in multiple places - could that be the cause? The damp is on one side of the frame, up to about 50cm high. Also leaking underneath (but I think that to do with blocked drain holes and broken seal at the bottom). Any thoughts please? Thank you kindly

You can replace the internal panel . If its upvc door it unglazes like glass . take off beads and replace . New costs about 100 for you to buy or keep an eye out on ebay or your local window shops . cutting isn't difficult just keep sizes equal . clear drain holes when the panel is out and put new panel on glazing blocks to keep drainage holes clear . you will need to pack (toe n heel )If you get a handyman/woman to do it remember to add in a letterbox if needed
