Battery leak?

Don't know where to post this but here's a picture of what looks like battery leak. Not sure though... Thanks for the help

Updated picture is that hole normally there?

Open the lid that covers the battery in the truck and you will find out....easy
diagnostic! lol

sho 'nuff does... better look in there. If it is the battery leaking you want to get that fixed ASAP, and honestly, I'd try to DIY because you really want to flush that area out well with lots of water and baking soda, and wave a spray can at any areas where the paint is eaten up. Do you trust any shop to take that kind of care with your car? I don't.

Looked inside already but didn't see any acid in there. Looks to be a hole on the bottom where the battery sits ill get a picture.

Pull it out and see whats underneath...Not worth it to find out later if something is messed up or leaking....A new battery + coding adds up $$$....
