Brick Veneer and Vinyl Windows

Bought a 17 year old house. Front of house is brick veneer. No weep holes. Vinyl windows have drain holes that feed water behind the brick sill. Also the vinyl windows were mortared rather than caulked. I am pondering what to do.

How about using a long masonry bit at an angle to drill a hole from the weep hole to outside, then putting in a plastic tube, silicone it to seal to the window frame? IDK, but it sounds like a real problem as it is now, water going in behind the brick.

The original drip holes are too far back -- but not actually below the bric k sill. They are right against the brick sill. I used a Dremel to cut open the window frame and expose the original drip holes. Next I will seal the o riginal drip holes and silicone in a plastic tube to run out across the sil l.
