By the ring, do you mean fill them to the bottom of the cylinder the caps snap on?
You should fill them to 1/4" below the split ring that extends down into the cell. Just touching the bottom is absolute max.
Actually the electrolyte will expand as the battery is brought from low charge to full charge. Best to just verify the plates are covered and top off (as above) after the battery is fully charged.
OK there is a possibility the battery is shorted and excessive bubbling has forced the electrolyte out through the cap.
