Save yourself some agro and invest in a ultrasound generator/receiver. Body shops use them a lot to flood the inside of cars and check window seals /door seals.
I bought my last one from the U.K. on ebay, chased some window leaks down in no time on my trawler that weeped down the interior sealing and down the forward companionway steps.
Thank you very much. This sounds very much like what I need. You are correct. My deck is sloped up at the bow quite a bit, so I suspect it's coming from forward on back. I'll start nosing around on eBay, CL and Amazon if I have to.
Thanks Again!

After I just now checked - who makes these? Seems to be everything from checking gases to checking babies in bellies...
