Subject:      Battery Leak
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"


Folks,
Hoping someone can suggest the best thing for me to try in this situation. I
discovered that the batter casing had cracked and some of the acid has
leaked into the battery compartment in my 81 Vanagon. It seems to have done
nothing more in there but take the paint off. Some has leaked through the
rubber grommet that the power cables feed through though and I see some
whiteish crystals forming underneath there. Can I rinse the compartment with
some baking soda and water or something to get rid of this stuff?
Thanks
James Juniper
