Is that the best way or are there other, more efficient methods of sniffing out 
the offending code?

Thank you!

I don't know. I always start with validation, it's great at catching my typos.

There are many diff programs used by programmers to compare programing code. They all work fine on CSS and HTML files. They highlight differences for you, most let you move quickly from one difference to the next, even let you copy lines from one file to the other. I use Linux, the kdiff tool is great for this kind of stuff.

Finally, if you have CSS files with many identical sections being repeated in each, maybe it's time to move those repeated sections into CSS files of their own and include them?
