    There was a picture posted somewhere that showed it was not surface mounted components right? Maybe in a link to another thread or somewhere.

    It's worth opening the shutter if it's the kind of work you're able to do.
    Leaky cap. or device is certainly a possibility and they're often unmarked - which can be a pain.
    Often though current drain is via corrosion products, look for green goo/whitish streaks anywhere in the circuit but especially around the battery box.
    Without an accurate lab. power supply & a dummy battery you can use a thin metal disc/insulator/metal disc, a wire soldered to each disc, between battery terminal & contact to measure drain with a multimeter on progressively lower milliamp ranges. Checking the drain at all states and speeds of the shutter may help diagnosis.
    Good luck with it!
