Hope you can help with my issue. I just had a wood burning stove put in during the fall and I have a small leaking coming from my double wall pipe. I took the the collar off tonight and saw where the water was coming from . Attached is are the pics. Any idea's where this water is coming from. I checked the cap and tightened it and resealed the storm collar. Nothing looked out of the ordinary. I am so frustrated and the guy who installed it will return my call. Any help or suggestion would be appreciated

On our Selkirk I had to seal the pipe seam of the length that went through the flashing too. I siliconed the entire seam length. Then I put a bead of silicone on the upper perimeter of the flashing, then set the storm collar onto that bead, tightened it up and sealed the storm collar with a final bead around it where it met the pipe. It never leaked again after that.

Same deal as Begreen. After troubleshooting a couple times, I realized water was running down the vertical seam of the chimney pipe. Ran a bead of silicone down it and that did the trick.
 
That looks like class a chimney pipe that is leaking. Looks like the same chunk that also goes outside in the rain. Is the water running out from inside the pipe or running down the outside? Both are possible.
 
+3 on the seam that runs along the length on the OD of the Selkirk (Supervent) pipe. The water will follow inside the seam even if you have the storm collar sealed with caulk. I ran clear silicon along the full length of the seams.
