Guys,
   Thanks for all the suggestions on my leak.  To answer some questions,
   The leak is more prevalent if my overhead vents are closed.  Since the inlet for them is on the right side of the tail and the propwash hits the left, I doubt if that's where it's coming from.
   My wing root isn't like most Lancairs - the fairing actually overlaps my wing by a couple of inches and we bodyworked the wing to meet the fairing with a fairly tight gap.  I could try putting some caulk in the underside of the left wing to see if that helps.
   I have no idea what my cabin pressure is in relation to the outside, however the fact that exhaust is getting in suggests that it is, in fact, lower. 
   My goal at this point is to find a way to locate where the leak is and plug it.  Any methods out there to do this?
