My seamless gutters are leaking at the corners of my house. What are the steps and specific products to use to remedy this issue?

watching this thread with great interest. i have one leak in a corner on a very very very long gutter so water stays in it forever and it drips onto my deck and is rotting the wood in that one spot.
nothing seems to fix it.

its not that easy for me. i cant seem to find the leak itself. shouldn't be that difficult but it is.
by the time the water has dried up where i can do something its not leaking anymore so its impossible to figure out exactly whats causing it or where its coming from.

They make things called a hose. Add more water to the affected area, then find the leak.

I tried flex seal and it didn’t work. My gutter guy came and “fixed” it but it started leaking again after a few weeks.

Look up Eternabond tape on the web. It is used on RV roofs.

I would clean the suspected area and put fiberglass matting and resin.

This is the trick to making any product work, not just fiberglass. You really have to get the area clean or your repair won't work for long. After you clean the area, make sure it is bone dry before attempting a fix.

Take a cup of water, color it with food coloring, pour it in the drain. Add some more water with the hose. You'll see where the leak is coming from.

Clean the corners good. Make sure dry. Apply Flex Seal. Process I used and it worked well.

Raise the height of the area with the leak, if it's at the opposite end of the downspout
