You've had some good tips on finding the leaks and marking them with a sharpie.
One thing I've found is the leaks in the neoprene feet are the hardest ones to find and the best way I found to find those little weepers is to fill the leg up to about the knee area with water and then kind of raise and lower the wader so the neoprene stretches and contracts. Do this several times and then wait and watch for awhile. Sometimes it takes awhile before the water starts to seep through. Focus mostly on the taped seams where the booty attaches to the wader and the ones down the heal.
I have had so many leaks over the years that made up a short piece of hose to use for leak testing.
