It could mean that there is a crack or really small hole at the base of
the negative terminal. Battery acid might me coming out of that hole
whenever you drive the car--esp. if you hit a pothole. You might be able
to see the crack or hole after cleaning terminal really well. Use a
flashlight. If you are able to see the crack or hole, visit a store that
sells auto parts such as Auto Zone or NAPA and ask them to sell you a
product that may be able to seal the hole or crack. I have never had this
problem so if someone else that has had this problem posts a
comment--follow his or her advice.
