Obviously, fixing the chamber is the best solution to the 
measurement problem. Disconnect everything from the chamber and 
power down all devices used, and you or your EMC test personnel 
should be able to quickly figure out where and why it is leaking.

There are techniques for measuring signals in the amient too, often 
used on the Open Area Test Sites. The simplest is to look at the 
signal with small span and lowered resolution BW. If you lower the 
BW down from the required 120 kHz, you should be able to distinguish 
between the emission from your DUT and the ambient. Turning the DUT 
on and off may help. If you are lucky, and the DUT emission doesn't 
change with the change of the BW, that means the signal is 
narrowband and you can take the measurement with the lowered BW.
