Rusty window hinge

[Jupiter01]

I recently replaced this,after receiving lots of help for this forum. Thanks!

I am now wondering why water was collecting here and causing the rust. The panel on the other side doesn't have any signs of rust. I notice 4 drill holes in the image below. Are these there for drainage by any chance. I ask as I don't see water draining from here when I poured it earlier to see what happens.
Also, the big static pane next to thsi is also gone as t has watre inside the panes. I wonder if water has seeped through here to cause that damage too.

Interested to hear your thoughts on this please. Thanks again.

I've helped replace those hinges. Used rivet gun and hinges that were a close match although not the same.
Normality go rusty in bathroom windows like that although rust will spread quickly with any damp.
Probably easier to get a company in to replace glass and hinge.
As for where the water is coming from I don't know. Driving rain and window not sealing properly when shut maybe

I have now replaced the hinge and ordered a window pane. will replace when this arrives. I am trying to understand whether those holes are there for drainage or is there something else I need to do in order to prevent this happening in the future?

Yes for drainage, the holes go straight down and appear between the frame and cill, the gap that some posters on here seal up, if no water is draining away the holes could either not be drilled right through which is a factory manufacturing error or they're blocked

I thinks that’s exactly my problem. Will investigate further and report back. Thanks!
