take the trim off and you can attempt to use a sealer like flex seal or something, but the only CORRECT way to do it would be to take the windshield off and have it resealed correctly.
washer bottles are notorious for going up, really just replace it is the only thing ive ever seen
might want to clean the lines too, make sure theres no dirt stuck in them

And if you've never removed and reinstalled a windshield, I'd suggest calling a mobile glass company. Not ridiculously expensive and they have the experience to do it without breaking the windshield in about an hours time.

Either take it to a glass shop or do the DIY method 
I have replaced 2 windshield myself. I have done a lot of bodywork in the past so what I use to remove and Install the glass is 2 big "Bondo" brand suction cups.
1.) Pull away the trim or molding around your vehicle, it is important to not damage this seal or water will always manage to seep in.
2.) Get inside the car, Take a knife and start to cut around the whole border. Spray any sort of lubricant to make this step easier.
3.) Mount both suction cups, get a friend to help carefully push from inside the vehicle and try to remove it from bottom to top. (Works best I find)
Walla your done on removing it. I'm going to guess that the silicone around the window isn't done properly. If you want to permanently remove your issue I would not go for a patch job and try to add silicone. I would remove, dry the wet spot out, re silicone. Hope that helped.

Dude had the old one out in about 5 minutes.
If the car has been repainted then get someone to do it that does it for a living!
I hate screwing up my stuff!
