If the positive terminal on the battery was loose (its a traditional type clamp fitting, not screw in) to the point where i can turn it by hand with little effort and even just lift it off....

Can this be the source of a power drain?

Happened to me, every bump it came off, stopped at petrol station for example, fill up, come out, DEAD, ended up just taking it off, fixing the mount back on properly, then screwed it back on tight, not been a problem since.
