Call one of those guys maybe.
I will check out the soffit tonight, I read on another site that if heat is getting in adding a whirly won't help as it will just pull more heated air up. Looking on facebook yesterday and today its seems like a huge issue for many people.

Only sources of heat I can think of are bathroom vents but they should be sealed will check anyway, Attic hatch which has terrible insulation just a couple of sheets laying on top hopefully staying on as you close it in its super tight space, or wire tubes running from the basement I believe and they are sealed with tape but I can see condensation inside them also.
