Nope its definately the knees, with just the legs in the bath (not wearing the suit) held under for a minute or so theres a damp patch spreading from around the knee area in both legs (not condensation).  It also tallies with the fact i got wet legs standing for an hour in the sea only up to my thighs in water.

Its obviously only a small leak and one that seems too small to squeeze air bubbles from.  It MAY be behind the knee pads (glued on) although im not sure
