As you can see, i remove the battery and i have a dark area of leak.
I used the following ingredients: Lemon juice, (vinegar will also work), a toothbrush, some swabs and some clear nail varnish.

 

First clean the CPB gently, i used a toothbrush

 

Then a swab with the lemon juice, and scrub gently again

 

Let the lemon juice dry, wait some time.
Scrub now with the toothbrush with soap warm water

 

Wait some more time, let it dry well, wait some hours just in case
Apply clear nail varnish in all the area were you can see the leak and
let it dry again some hours
