Damp patches on garage inside walls

Looks like it's also washing under the door.
What's between the block work and outer skin?
From the first pic it looks like it's leaking everywhere! Is there something fibrous packing the door and wicking water inside?

The outside paving to the door looks like it might be broaching the dampcourse, water may be being channelled under the sill.
Think there's more than one issue

Looks to be a gap between frame and trim at the top of the door. What state is that frame in as it looks a bit knackered and overpainted with green.

My guess at the moment is you have 2 issues; water is running under the door because of the paving slab to the front. Second is water coming in above door and running down side.

The door frame at the top seems ok really, i.e. no rotten frame but just paint coming off.

What should I do? Like new door frame and all or more like apply some sealant around the door?

On the pic of the bricks under the roof you see damp patches too, as if the thing was not relates to water ingress through the door?
 
Looks to me like water is coming down the grey pier. Something wrong on the roof

Have you been out watching during rain?
 
Doesn't look wet above door line internally though. Or have I missed it?
 
Still looks to be from the door area rather than roof line. I've assumed the wall is shadowed but I guess it could all be damp!? Timbers all look to be bone dry.

I don't think it's causing all that damp on the inside, but looks like a drill hole in the mortar on the outside about 2ft above the middle of the door?


I don't think the paving at the door is helping either.
 
Exterior sealant around the door frame is atrocious, rain will just be ****ing in through that, as mentioned something wrong with the roof .
