How would I go about finding what's drawing power when turned off.

Not sure when it started, or what started it, but after replacing the alternator (needed doing tbh) to try and charge the battery better, and new batteries as they've flatted.

How would I go about trying to find what's drawing / draining the battery.

The obvious solution is to fit a cut off at the battery / betwen battery and fuse box, but this could be using a mallet to crack an egg.....

NB no trackers / alarm sensors fitted. TY&GN
10 years in a WOLF, WIMIK and Snatch and this is all I have to show!

DC current clamp, can be picked up on amazon for ~£30.

Put it on the battery positive, then methodically pull fuses until you find the one that's causing the problem!
