It seems like if they just did another big dye release and had divers stationed at the various places offshore, they could find the inlets and plug them up.

I think it'd be very hard to do. To see the whole shore of water turn red, yes, but to see a particular spot? I'd think you'd need to be below water to see it, and as murky as the water is, I don't think you'd be able to catch it before you were immersed in it. Not without assistance anyway.
Maybe a infrared camera could detect something quickly, or backlight with some sort of solvent, or hot water and a thermal camera.
Even then, it'd be hard to stop water from getting in. I guess you could pump hydraulic cement in. But with five box drains, just cut off the main shaft. Which is likely just a trench they dug and filled with gravel covered with coconut fiber and buried.
