Car battery liquid leak ?

[virajn]

After using my car battery for quite long, i added distilled water yesterday. Today morning I saw the plastic case which the battery holds is wet. There's no lot of liquid, but under the battery was wet. Should I be worried ? Did I overfill the battery ?

You may have over tightened the tie-down clamp,cracking the case.

Might have overfilled. Keep an eye on the level and make sure alternator is not over charging the battery

Thanks for the recommendations. Should i go to mechanic or wait and see if it sort out ? I have long trip in coming days with family and don't want any problems in road.

Better get a second opinion from a battery shop.

what happened with your issue? did you get the charging checked. It's always good to leave a feedback as to what was the cause and remedy as someone will learn a thing

I did not go to mechanic. It was not any leak. It was overfill. After few days it was ok.
