only a few mA for the alarm, permanent power to stereo etc.

connect an ammeter in series with the battery then start pulling fuses out to see where the leak is.

Alarms should only draw 10-15 mA. Things that need power for memory only (ie no flashing lights) should draw next to nothing.

... but let's not leap to conclusions. Why do you think you have a power leak? What's it doing?
