Don't be too quick to count out a 'leak'... My old jeep had an aftermarket stereo that could drain the battery in 2 weeks of non-use.

An inductive ammeter and pulling out fuses one at a time (or without the meter, pulling fuses one at a time and looking for the spark) may help you isolate the power drain.

After figuring out why the battery kept dying, I got in the habit of pulling the fuse for the radio whenever I wasn't going to be using the Jeep for a few days.
