It is very common for the battery to discharge on a vehicle sitting idle for 3 months. First disconnect the positive + & negative- battery cables, and clean the battery post and cable connections off. Apply a thin layer of dielectric grease or Vaseline to the battery post and connect the negative - cable. Put a battery charger on the battery and let it fully charge overnight. If it will not accept a charge it is defective. It it does show fully charged, connect the positive + cable and see if the engine will start. if not, then more than likely the battery is dead and needs replacing.

Answer 1 - Leakage at a Battery Terminal PostNO, a leak at a battery terminal post does not usually indicate a broken post. Car battery terminal posts are very tough, and usually do not break, especially before the plastic battery case breaks. Usually, a leak around a car battery terminal post is caused by a failure of the SEAL of the case plastic cast around the terminal post. This can be caused by a manufacturing or material defect, from abuse, or from vibration.
