My neighbor struggled with the same problem and it was "fixed" several times with gallons of butyl caulk.

He also had a leak in the back because the roof wasn't properly flashed. When I asked the repair crew why that area had wall flashing and not step flashing, they said "we don't use step flashing in Florida". More butyl caulk to the rescue.
