THat's what you said before, but Azzle wasn't reading the whole thing....
.

I'll bet if you unplug the regulator that it will stop draining the battery... If you replace it you won't have to unplug it anymore...

To test it: Disconnect the battery and let the car cool off fully. Then plug it in and start it up for a couple seconds then shut it off and wait. If the regulator get's warm on you it's time to replace it. And that is your likely source of drainage.
