My 3 year old 34R Interstate battery has started to seap out of the top causing corrosion around the terminals even with anti-corrosion discs. Even after cleaning every month. Called the local Interstate Platinum dealer and he right away said that SAAB and Interstate are both aware of extremely high engine bay temps specific to SAAB Turbo's causing batteries to start gasing prematurely. Apprantly there has been a recent note to SAAB service department regarding this that I confirmed with the SAAB dealer near me. My indy mentioned this same problem couple of months ago when the car was in. Anyone have this same issue? Interstate is willing to replace it under the pro-rated warranty becuase of this know issue where this is normally not a warranty issue. Just an FYI
