Just looking at it, I can see deposits from the leakage, but cannot get
to them to physically clean them off.

Can anybody recommend something to splash on there to dissolve said
deposits without messing things up more?

Use a solution of one teaspoon of baking soda and one cup of water. Also
good to clean car battery terminals.

Hopefully the metal parts underneath are not corroded beyond use.

Why would you use bicarbonate to remove an alkaline?

I'd have expected acid such as vinegar or CLR?


Battery corrosion is acid buildup.
