also, i saw some RUST underneath the battery - not good!! 
lastly, is it normal that i saw a black plastic circular pads on the bottom with a small hole in the middle? i could actually see the pavement through the hole.
anyway, i think i'll just call up MB roadside and have them replace the battery with OEM this time and let them worry about the vent tube. |
Lack of a vent tube will lead to rust. Clean and paint that area!
If I pull the vent tube on mine, I can also see pavement, so this sounds right.
Going with OEM will cost you a bit more, but I won't try to discourage you.
