I’m trying to troubleshoot what is going on

The ground fault to the bathroom has always been touchy

Went to replace it and now I find with the power disconnected 600ohms resistance between hot and neutral.

This means a .2 amp 24 watt load with nothing on

The bathroom circuit connects to an exterior light, the bathroom outlets, a fluorescent light in the ceiling and that is it.

Any ideas how I find the short?
