Why the 912 Porsche 1967 battery tray have three holes on the bottom causing leaking acid onto the car trunk which causes corrosion?

I'd imagine they were there to drain any water spilled while topping off the cells (car batteries in 1967 had to be periodically "topped off" with distilled water, unlike modern "sealed" batteries). Incidentally, early 911's & 912's are very susceptible to trunk corrosion especially if the rubber drains are plugged.

What causes the battery light to come on when both the battery and alternator check out okay?
The alternator may be putting out some amps, but the regulator inside is failed. The alternator is the first thing to replace when the battery lamp comes on in these vehicles. Also make sure the battery is not leaking acid. Remove the positive and negative cables from the battery and look for corrosion. If corrision is found, you'll need to replace the battery and also take the battery cable covers off to clean the contact pads down to bare metal. Make sure all corrosion is removed. Russtech67

Transmissions have lines that run from the transmission to the oil cooler in front ot the engine. Most of the time, it's made into the radiator. These metal lines sometimes rub against the metal chasis, causing a hole. It may also be corroded from a leaking battery case. Remove the battery and find the leak. It can be repaired easily with a rubber hose made for transmissions and clamps.
