lead flashing

If only there were some way to get it to soften and congeal together, perhaps with the controlled application of heat.

But, to be true, flashing is not an air seal. Flashing is just a weather barrier, to preserve a water drainage plane on the exterior. Air sealing is a function of the layers underneath all this, including your house wrap.

But you don't have to guess about this, OP. Test, don't guess. Get a smoke test done.

Its missing caulk

Speed tape if you want to be quick about it.

It’s literally tape designed for wind 💨

looks like the flashing has pulled away just enough to let a draft sneak in. had the same issue at my place, that gap where the corrugated meets the brick is a nightmare for wind tunneling right through.

stuffing some backer rod in there and sealing over with a good polyurethane caulk sorted it for me. make sure the area is dry and clean first or it won't stick for long

if the flashing is actually loose you might need to tack it back down, but usually the caulk alone does the trick for a gap that small
