Welcome to the forum.
To answer your questions:
Is is this an admission of “fault”?
Sounds very like it. Windows are common property (unless your block is pre 1994).
Is the damage to my unit covered under the strata building insurance or body corporate insurance?
They are the same thing.
What do I do if the strata manager denies further investigation of the source of the water damage?
Why do you need further investigation (unless the issue has recurred)?
What if she denies an insurance claim?
If you had listened to the podcast, you’d know that you can go ahead and make a claim on the strata insurance yourself – you don’t need to wait for the strata manager or committee member to get their butts in gear.
Go on, have a listen now, if you don’t believe me. It’s very informative (not least about the different types of insurance).
That said, don’t be surprised if someone says that damage caused by a failure of common property is not the responsibility of the owners corporation.
This is highly debatable. Forget strata law, under common law it surely must be.
