I once had what I thought was a wrist seal leak that turned out to 
be a pinhole leak high in the arm of the suit itself. The water 
somehow tracked down my arm without wetting things very much and 
collected at the cuff in a very deceptive way. If you haven't already 
done it, check the whole sleeve very carefully.
