Best Answer

No, you should remove the battery and buy a new one trading the old battery in. The fluid leaking is partially sulfuric acid. It is very corrosive and will eat the paint right off the vehicle. It will cause a serious rust problem. Remove the battery and wash the area down with a mixture of water and baking soda to neutralize the acid. Do not get the fluid on your hands or clothes.

New car battery not used for months will not accept charge from charger?

Some car battery charges will not charge a completely dead battery. You need to find a type of battery charger that is designed to charge a completely dead battery. You can get around this by hooking a car with a working battery up to the dead battery with jumper cables. The alternator/charging system of the car with the good battery will charge the dead battery. Leave them connected for about 30 min, then disconnect and try to use the battery charger again. If it still won't charge, hook it up to the car with the good battery for a longer period of time.
