Without knowing the design of your roof I'd have thought the leak would be very unlikely to be anything to do with the facia board, since that is usually well away from the window frame. Much more likely is that the liner under the roof tiles is perforated so that any water that seeps through the tiles (and it does in winds or when there are broken tiles) doesn't get directed out to the gutter. Not unusual with tiled or slated roofs, but the only way of dealing with it is to remove the tiles/slates and replace or patch the liner.
