To find your hole I reccomend hanging up your waders and shining a flashlight insdie. What I don't reccomend is filling your waders with water.

Neoprene by its nature is relatively self-sealing, so I would be surprised if you have a leak from a pin-hole. It could be an isolated breakdown of the neoprene so it is  no longer waterproof... or a larger hole or tear... though you would see that. Maybe wear a dark cotton pants, then get wet. You'll see the damp patch easily, that will allow you to take a closer look at the neoprene itself. Why not wet the inside??.... well, that side of the material isn't made to get wet, and does a poor job drying out. If you have a few seasons of sweat in their, it may reactivate with the water too.... making it an anti-aftershave. I fixed a hole with plain clear silicone, available at any home store.
