    Leaking battery

    Was checking my battery today and noticed that one of the cells has a slight leak through the cap. It is the OEM battery and I know it is not long for this life, but just wanting to know if this is dangerous in any way considering the location in VE and onwards. I know I have had this issue in other cars where the battery is located under the bonnet and have just cleaned up the acid regularly and has not been an issue. Am going to replace with Varta E44, but should I expedite this replacement?
    Edit: I put my CTEK on it about once a fortnight and it has never let me down, but I know if I run the stereo without car running for more than say 30 minutes I will be running home.
