Yes, you need drain holes, if it's not too late and your sill is
already
rotted out (even if it is, drain holes will help).
Go ahead and drill 2 or 3 small holes (1/16 to 1/8" should be fine)
right
at the height of the sill. If you can seen where the original holes
were, you may just be able poke out the caulk at those locations
with a nail.
Hope that helps.
