I mentioned this in my starting problem issues thread but wanted to mention and seek advice on the issue specifically.
I inherited the battery in the car from the previous owner. It wouldn't surprise me if he drove it too me with a decent battery in it, and pulled over at the service station just before getting to me and put the oldest crappiest battery he had in for me.![EEK!](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/eek1.gif)
While trying to start the car and listening to the starter motor I noticed liquid coming out from the cells of the battery. Not heaps but enough to make me think that's not normal... Can anyone suggest a cause of this? It only seems to happen while turning the ignition over, the starter clicks twice and liquid comes from battery... Is this a sign of a dicky battery battery? Do batteries sometimes leak a little liquid when trying to start? (surely not, I never seen it, but perhaps I just never took notice)
