light leak on battery??

So, my stupid battery keeps dripping. It's not coming out of the overflow vent tube, but I think it's coming out of the little caps you put the acid in. It's not overfilled and the charging system is not overcharging... any ideas? Time for a new battery?

I'd say remove the battery from the bike, and figure out where the fluid is coming from. Battery acid is sulfuric & will eat paint and frame parts. If you have any acid in the battery tray, baking soda will neutralize it (not baking powder!)
