As I expect you realise, my concern regarding loss of electrolyte due to spillage is that when this happens, you are losing both acid and water instead of (mostly) just water as in normal gassing. Losing both acid and water means that your acid strength will drop when you top up the cell, even if you use the reserved electrolyte. > I am not sure why one battery remains sealed and clean, while another > one constantly weeps elecrolyte.

Most likely a mechanical issue with the ganged caps. Given that you water infrequently, you might want to check with your dealer to see if they will supply you with individual caps. The individual caps tend to seal the best, and I believe are available upon request for little or no charge (unless your dealer just can't be bothered to get them for you).
