Ouch....maybe some jb weld and electrolyte with distilled water? Not sure how much, somebody will chime in. Oh yeah, shorter screws too. (Sorry, couldn't resist)

You are not the first one to do this... I'm not sure of the product but there is a 2 part epoxy that will work for battery cases. Somebody will chime in with the product info... meanwhile I would be working the heck out of google.

Could you put two screws in it to at least stop the leak ?

If you have lost all the electrolyte, you can get a premixed solution of sulfuric acid at any auto parts store. I have no clue as what to use on the holes to seal them. Someone else may have a solution to that!

that JB waterweld is what i have seen others use and it worked good,, and if the acid leaked out, then you need to put acid back in, like some one said the auto store has it
