Leaking car batteries can present several hazards. The acid within is corrosive<\/a>, which can damage vehicle components, create toxic fumes, and pose a risk of fire or explosion if it comes into contact with other substances. Contact with skin or eyes can cause severe burns.<\/p>\n To spot a leaking car battery, inspect for signs of corrosion or staining around the terminals and case. Acid may appear as a damp or crystalline substance. Smell for a sulfuric, rotten egg odor, which indicates a leak.<\/p>\n Upon finding a battery leak<\/a>, wear protective gear and neutralize any spilled acid<\/a> with baking soda.
