I'm shocked, shocked to find that voltage is leaking around here.
You can recover some of that lost voltage by putting an oil-drain pan under the
car when you park it. Use a plastic pan, not a metal one because metal doesn't
hold voltage very well. And make sure the pan doesn't contain any oil, either
hot or cold. In the morning you just pour the voltage back into the battery.
You should start doing this soon because if enough voltage leaks out the car
won't run until you can replace it. Original voltage is best, or NOS voltage
if you can find it. Aftermarket voltage varies in quality, and used voltage
should be avoided unless you know how much abuse it has been through. Voltage
for high-performance applications can be magnafluxed to identify flaws, but it
isn't currently done anywhere AFAIK.
