This seems to be leaking at the same rate as the leak in bug 1364368, so
it may be a common library that's leaking

Title:
  unity8-dash is leaking memory at ~1.7K a second

Status in “unity8” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Running smemstat, we can see that unity8-dash is consuming heap at
  around 1.7K *per second*

  smemstat -p $(pidof unity8-dash) 10

  (leave it to run for a while and you will see the heap growth stats)

  running strace on the process shows anonymous mmap() increasing the
  heap every ~10 minutes or so.  Over a 570 minute period I observed the
  process growing by 58MB, which works out to be ~140MB per day.  This
  is a serious heap expansion memory leak.
