We had our house sided this spring. The windows were framed in aluminum. They did a beautiful job, but, now, we are noticing what appears to be "corrosion" coming from under the window. See photo. All the windows have the problem: some only a litte, some a lot. Does anyone know what this might be or how to fix the problem?

It's hard to see from the picture but I would say water is getting in and not draining out or away.

It's really hard to see the detail in such a small photo, but aluminum should not corrode. Could it be mineral deposits from rain water?
