Nap plaster crack external - what to cover with?

    hi all,
    we've had an issue for a few years with a crack around a window and its leaking to the inside of the window. i.e. it drips down water on the inside of the window frame onto the sill. It's an issue with DPC not been laid correctly but if there was no crack, they'd be no leak.

    I had a plasterer tear out the area a few years ago to fix the crack and the crack was gone. the crack is back again, albeit hardly noticeable but the leak is occurring.

    I want to cover the crack with some type of silicon or covering to see if that stops it for awhile. any pointers?
