Bricks, Masonry, Asphalt and Concrete - face brick leaking?

I had a home built in 2001, front is face brick with siding on sides an back. During strong rains i begin to get some leaking into my basement wall. the basement concrete wall is about 15 inches above ground. I started isolating by hitting parts of the brick under the window sills with a hose. after about 10 mins I begin to see some water seeping down in the basement. I haved caulked the seam where the face brick meet the concrete wall. My question is can water seep through brick and mortar do I need to use some sort of waterproof sealer on the face of the brick and joints to stop this? Thanks

The face brick is not your primary moisture barrier. Just as with siding, the house wrap is the primary moisture barrier.

Apparently water around the window is getting under the moisture barrier. Improper window installations are very common(60%).

Do you know if flashing was installed above the foundation wall and behind or under the wrap?

Are ther weeps (gaps in the mortar - holes or rope) at the bottom course of the brick to permit moisture (leakage from above or condensation, etc.) to get out of the wall?

Caulking will just keep moisture inside the wall and it can leak inside if there is enough.
