Put it on stands,put a little water in it and flip it over with one up up in the air. watch for seepage or even drips at the seams. Repeat at the other end. Unless you have neoprene cockpit cover I don't know a good way to check the cockpit. But really sounds like you have several small leaks to me. I have never had one that did at leak a little somewhere at first.
