You will probably need to provide additional information, are the actual sliders leaking (around the glass or frame) or is the frame the sliders ride on leaking?
The frame should have drain holes or slots, over time these tend to fill-up and a solution may be to simply clean out the drain holes or slots. If the water is leaking UNDER the frame IMHO, all of the old caulk needs to be removed and new caulk applied along the bottom and along both sides, at a minimum, other work may be required.
