Does anyone know how these windows are sealed. Is there a rubber grommet or is it mastic. Is it worth just tightening the screws or do I have to take the whole lot apart. And if it's a rubber gasket where do I go to get them. Thanks

Do they have screws on the outside and where are they leaking from ? It might be as 'simple' as tightening up the screws, removing and re-bedding the frame or a total rebuild which is quite a bit of work depending upon the frame construction.
 
First you say there are no screws on the inside and then the photo shows screws on the inside. I suspect you have screws on the outside as well. If so the two parts of the frame is being held together and clamped together by inter-screws. You have toughened glass held in by a rubber. If the rubber needs replacing then try seals direct. One final tip, use a cheese wire to cut any mastic seal between the gel coat and a frame.

Looks like there may be a pop off cover covering the screw heads in the first post's pics that's been removed in the subsequent one.

I meant .No. there on the inside only. Cheese wire sound good. Thanks
