Wet battery tray

[Rtaylor2208]

Gave the cab a wash for the first time in a while and found that there was water under the battery on the tray (engine bay).

What's the usual suspect?

Had the scuttle panel plastic vents off and all is good in there no rust. No water inside the cab either, and all the carpets etc are bone dry.

They seem ok, not perished and a tight fit. Also no corrosion under the seal or the firewall insulation behind the battery.

Not much but it looks like it must have been doing it before as there is some surface rust on the tray. But a screwdriver proved it non fatal.

Ill get it rubbed down sealed sealed and painted hopefully this week to stop any further rust but not sure where its comming from.

The car was only washed with a bucket, sponge and watering can so no pressure washer involved.
