Untraceable Current Draw on 96 i30

I have had my i30 since the end of the summer and it has 236k+ miles on it. About a month ago my battery died, so i jumped it and it ran a few days, then the battery died again. I took it to a shop and they told me they couldnt find anything and it has to be the battery. Needless to say I went through two batteries and it was still happening, so I took it to another shop and lo and behold, they found a draw. The only problem is that they can't locate it. They pulled all of the fuses, checked the alternator, the voltage regulator etc. The mechanic said he was only able to check a few of the solenoids but nothing was wrong with them. Basically where I am at now is that I know there is a draw coming from somewhere, but I, and two shops, can't locate it. Anybody have any ideas? It just randomly started happening and I know it could possibly be a short somewhere, but everything seems to be working fine when the car is running. I am lost. ANd the engine is pristine I want to get this bad boy over 300k.
