Water coming through window on new door.

Installed this prehung door/frame from Lowe's to replace the previous rotten door frame. After the first rain water was coming through the window frame. It's hard to tell but the exterior frame in the first picture is now bowed out with a wider gap. Should I have needed to seal this gap or is it a manufacturing defect? I don't think the bowing was there previously which makes me thing the wood core is swollen from water coming in. submitted by /u/BravoLimaDelta [link] [comments]
