External laundry leaking

External laundry leaking

    We bought an old house that has an external laundry room. Not attached to the house. Previous owners installed cladding possibly over the old wood. However, when it rains, water leaks in through the bottom of the walls. There is no guttering either.   A few photos to try and show where the issue is. There are 3 walls that have got cladding as the 4th wall sits next to a brick outhouse. I have a feeling that I need to remove the cladding to see how bad the wood is behind it. As a photo shows, the bit I can see isn't looking good. If wood is in good nick, can silicone or something simple be used to prevent water getting in?
