Default test for Earth leak

can anyone tell me how I test my AU for a leak in the electrical system....My batt keeps going flat every 3 or 4 days, I fully recharge it and 3 or 4 days later its flat again.
I have a multimeter and a test light , my knowledge of multimeters is very limited but I have tested the batt when the car is running and its showing 14.3v which would tell me that the batt is charging when the engine is running...I put the m,ulti on the batt when it wouldnt start and it was showing 10.3V
the XR6 doesnt get driven very much anymore so if I did have a leakage problem earlier I probably didnt know about it because up until a a month or so ago it was a daily..

So how do I test the system for a leak?
