How to rainproof a leaky window?

I have old wooden frames in my rental and some are not quite waterproof. I am looking for something to temporarily waterproof them while I am gone. Originally I thought play dough might be somewthing to try, but that's actually water soluble. Any ideas for something renter friendly I can seal those gaps with temporarily? (Sadly, where I live, it is more common to have leaky windows than non-leaky ones. Landlords will look at you as if you're crazy if you ask them to fix it) submitted by /u/RAThrowdia [link] [comments]
