A few mA is standard. The computers all have memory/adaptive functions happening, and that'll add up to a few mA.

25mA is a lot of draw. A few weeks ago I found that our '87 245 was sucking down about 12mA... which was enough to kill a new Volvo battery in a day or so (though I had been cranking the starter trying to diagnose a no-start). A fuel pump relay filled with water caused both problems. Gotta fix that leak! :)

Try and see how much current is going through fuse #5. Is there a short somewhere? What about the glovebox or trunk lights? I like Chris's suggestion on the alarm.

Just keep poking around... you'll find it. Do you have a wiring diagram?
