not sure it's applicable to your situation, but on my '86, my failed door switch (interior lights wouldn't come on when I opened my door) was the root cause of a VERY similar drain situation.

Turns out that on my car, the power windows remain energized (can be closed) after the car's shut off and before a door is opened. Since my door switch never "told" the relay that my door was open, my power windows remained active whenever my car was off and pulled a drain that would kill my battery after a week or so.

Easy to check -- can you operate your power windows with the key out and do your interior lights come on when you open the door?

Cleaning my door switch so it worked solved my problem
