Bob,

The quick test is to turn on the headlights and try to start the car. If the
headlights dim it's likely a battery or wiring connection issue. If there is
no effect it's the solenoid or the starter. Hint- if you lost your radio
stations and the battery measures 12.72V (a fully charged battery is 12.6V,
I'd look over the connections carefully. That said, no matter what, you are
on borrowed time on the battery and nobody likes a leaker. A poor ground can
cause the battery to over charge and leak as you describe.
