As you have tried 3 different caps, that seems unlikely to be the problem. But the grid is being raised 275v above ground, and there must be a reason. Several candidate reasons (oscillation, open grid-ground resistor or connections, leaky coupling cap) have been covered in this thread, and rejected for reasons - it may be necessary to question those reasons more deeply. Or come up with another cause, such as a short from B+ to grid
I wouldn't worry about the low current draw until that issue is resolved.
