Has anyone got any tips for finding small leaks in dry suits (not through the seals) ?

The leak is enough that after a dive the bottom half of my body is damp.

Ive narrowed it down to the bottom half of the suit after spending 70 minutes in the sea trying to help launch the rib in waist deep water - after that i was slightly damp and that was before the dive.

Its more than condensation certainly and when dried leaves salt behind.

I thought about trying to turn the suit inside out but thats not really possible due to the boot style and running out of ideas so any suggestions welcome!  Its not a show stopper as even after a good dive time its not very wet but is noticable..

Also, once found any tips for fixing ?  Aquasure and some sort of patch ?
