All servos, digital and analog, try to find center in neutral. The only difference between the two is the speed at which the feedback potentiometer is used to correct the servo position. That is what causes the increase in power consumption.

@t-maxxracer32: Well, at least you narrowed it down to a mechanical problem. I would slowly actuate the servo horn manually to see what would be causing the problem. And take a look at the return spring that AAngel suggested. If it is stronger than the servo power, it will overpower the servo.
