Moisture damage under window

Hello I discovered today that the wallpaper under all the windows on two sides of the house was wet, and when I pressed it, it was soft. I tore off the Tretex and found a lot of water and dark spots, see pictures. What do I do now? Remove everything wet and use a heater? As you can see in the pictures, it's in the corners of the windows, which are old. I don't want more water coming in but can't really find where it's getting in. Both windows and façade are to be replaced in the spring, can I use some sealant around the entire window to seal it? It's irrelevant if the windows become damaged and can't be opened. They will be replaced anyway. I just want it sealed until spring. A tarp doesn't work as it's high up and always windy. It’s an asbestos façade and wooden windows, metal trims. I’m grateful for any suggestions!

It's almost like you're longing for it, no I'm not, but it would be nice to know if I've succeeded.
