Problem he has is that he has a surfski not a kayak. No hatches therefore no access to inside of boat. He has a sealed bow and a sealed stern section if I am reading the posts correctly. The cockpit area itself will be wet because it is open.
A quantity of coloured water added through the bung is the established method for a surfski. However, i have read about others who have used soapy water along the seams and problem areas (venturi and rudder) and applied light internal pressure by breathing in to the bung.

Ppodge, any images of your boat?
