It might not be hacking/SQL Injection.

Do you enable features where Users (logged in or otherwise) can submit information (Forums, Contact Forms, etc)? Could just be very "spammy" submissions in fields that are stored in the database but not displayed. Could even be in a User's account profile.

Can you search your site's database and see where the code is being stored?

Could also be hard-coded into a file too, e.g. a template downloaded from a "dodgy" source.

As well as doing as @Webdongle advises, I'd recommend submitting your site for audit at https://mysites.guru - the first audit is free and will offer much enlightenment.
