Yeah, @Crazy Dave Condon would advise sealing up everywhere with plastic, then blowing into the sealed up structure with some kind of air mover.
Maybe he'll chime in.
In my industry we do blower door testing on houses and buildings and duct testing on HVAC ductwork. I am sure you could same thing on a sailboat.
It is going to be pricey, I would guess $1250 to $2000 per day.

Seal the companionway with a piece of plastic with a hole in it to accept the nozzle of a leaf blower. Have a friend apply soapy water around the areas where you suspect a leak. You'll see bubbles where the leaks are.
