Sure, first you could put an ammeter between the battery and the distribution post and see if there is in fact a drain, then if there is, start pulling various fuses to see which one is causing it, and trace it further from there.

Or, if you're not willing / able / confident, take it to a pro.

Whatever you do, don't leave it alone or cover it up with a fresh battery.
