Chalk is a good weapon for tracking mystery leaks.  Rub it all over and look for the trail ...

Thru hulls dry/leaking?

Does it still leak if all the thru hulls are closed?

Does it leak if the water pressure is off?

Are you in a raining area? (wait - EVERYONE is in a rainy area these days)
but could the leak be coming thru a chain plate or stantion?
