Normally red or brown. The battery has a + stamped into it by the positive terminal. Follow the wires, on a modern car the positive will go to the alternator and starter. The negative wire (easier to follow) will go to the body/engine block
it will leak from the positive connection becauase the positive connection is what is under place of the acid
ALTINATOR OR STARTER. JUMP START CAR, TAKE POSITIVE CABLE OFF BATTERY,IF CAR DIES IT IS ALTERNATOR. GOOD LUCK
Look for a loose or corroded positive battery cable at the battery post - or a loose/corroded battery terminal on the positive cable.

The red terminal on a car battery is the positive terminal which feeds electrical current to various devices. The black terminal is the negative, or ground, terminal which is attached to the car frame.
When jumping a car, the red jumper cable goes on the positive terminal of the dead battery and the black jumper cable goes on the negative terminal of the good battery.
