Adblue smells like piss, this looks like battery fluid. It has no smell but be careful as it is acid.

So Scania has the battery box perched on the end of the chassis like that?
That's as bad as MAN's airtank bollocks😂

New driver and second week in hope this doesn’t cost me my job honesty it’s been going so well so far. Such a stupid mistake. It was just that one battery needed replacing and was fine. Long evening.

How did that happen, did you miss the pin or something? One thing about lorry driving is stuff does and will go wrong, even to the best of us.

Battery acid
As some scania and MAN have batteries mounted under rear chassis very vulnerable
If it’s got jump start connections above (which this has)
100% be a battery or two there

I'm probably being stupid but doesn't a battery acid smell like routing eggs? Just for future reference
