Corners of rooms, especially outside corners and wall sections behind furniture and then compare them with the dew point in the room.

If the walls are colder than the dew point, you'll get condensation.

Should be about 90°

I'm dealing with this exact issue right now. I don't have thermal imaging, but I used an IR thermometer and recorded temps as much as ten degrees lower in the places with water staining than in other parts of the wall/room/house. Any tips for finding the leaks/improving insulation? Right now my best idea is cutting holes in each cavity and blowing in insulation, but I'm not an expert at all.

Nah, sorry. So far I've only been living in houses made from stone and concrete, I have no experience with improving insulation in framed buildings. Someone else, maybe. Sound like just adding insulation isn't a great idea though as that will push the dew point into the wall. You'd have to separate the insulation layer from the humid air inside at the same time, otherwise you'd just get the water in the insulation and therefore wet insulation and mold.

It's sort of a disclaimer.
