At the battery? Only time I've seen it is with the dreaded AC Delco positive terminal leaking.

well the terminal might have been leaking on the first battery but now this would be battery #2 and they are not ac delco bateries. The first batery was a ford batery( previous owner), and the one on there now is motorcraft i think.

edit:: would constant drayning of the battery cost this, casue i have notice that my car has some electrical demons.

Ex#1: when driving at night i notice that my lights flutter.

Ex#2: i also notice that my car has a tap noice like lifter noice, however when i put my radio in a station that comes in with static, i notice a pulsing noice in the static that goes at the same rithim as as the taping noise. This leads me to think the taping noice might be a misfire or maibe spark related.

Ex#3: a horn tha tworks when it feels like it, lights that flicker with a life of their own. (This is something that i have only seen once or twice in 2 or 3 years of owning the car)

Ex#4: gages that at times seem posses.
