Make sure to wash down wherever the leakage occurred with something like baking soda and water. Make sure the dealer sees where the leakage went so if there is a future problem caused by the battery acid, it will be fixed.
They replaced just the one battery. They said they checked the other one and did not find a leak. I will checked after some time and see how both of them are doing. I cannot believe the battery was bad only after 7400 miles.
No rubbing. Mine was leaking where the top cover meets the side housing of the battery. It is hard to explain but if you look at the sides of the battery you will see a line towards the top that goes around the battery and that is where it was leaking.
