Mitsubishi L200 powerleak

Car: Mitsubishi L200
Model Year: 1995
Categories: Leaks & Noises
Sometimes my battery is dead after a few days. This is not always the case.
I took out all the fuses(in the fuse box) and it was still leaking power.
Could it be something on the engine?
The preheating spiral,the dynamo or the start engine?
The battery is new, and it must be a small leak because it takes a few days to do flat.

You could get the battery load tested , 2 min job , in case of any dud / weak cells . Not the first time I've had a faulty new battery from stock .If not that , carry out a parasitic drain test ,
