Little suckers have big bladders. Or more likely the paint, varnish, whatever has developed cracks where the skin makes sharp bends over the keel, gunwales, and chine stringers. Another place that I've noticed will leak is around the cockpit coaming, I think this is because the skin gets stressed in these places and the coating cracks. Don't totally discount the spiders, nasty creatures and they don't like to be disturbed.
