Ok battery "leaks" come from one of two places (well one place and one large group of "other") The Filler cap. and everywhere else.

I have read many say "fill with DISTILLED WATER" to the bottom of the filler tube. THIS IS WRONG!!!!!
1/8 to 1/4 inch BELOW the tube (1/8 if fully charged if not go for 1/2 then charge and try again) WHY.. Well you are looking at why.. It needs that eighth of an inch gap.
