Which one is worse, the big or the massive draft?
I'd concentrate on the worst one first of all, then try and fix the other one

Around the edge's of the window. Might just put tape over it.

Where the window frame touches the actual frame (as in the bit that opens touching the bit that stays there when its open)? Or where the glass touches the plastic/wood around it?

If it's a significant gap the window might needs replacing. Or just seal it if the problem is minor.

if it is where the window shuts then you can get some thick spongey tape stuff, not sure what its called but we have some on our back door to stop the draft when the door is shut, its like double sided tape with sponge in the middle and comes on a roll
