Not much help...but have been warned to wash off paintwork straight away if you spill.
Is it that corrosive I don't know.

Cheers

Probably a naive question, most of mine are, but why would this have anything to do with adblue?
Have you sprayed it over the battery?
Is there a leak from where you put the Adblue in?
Are you sure it’s adblue or could it just be water?
Difficult to say from the photos.
I can’t see why it has anything to do with adblue, but I will concede I am thick!

Have to agree with Bramidan

The picture is of the door step (near Ad blue filler) with plastic base trim removed. Not the battery box.

'Be aware that although AdBlue is non-toxic, it is corrosive and can cause irritation to the skin, eyes and lungs. Wear gloves and wash your hands and arms after filling. If AdBlue comes into contact with the vehicle's paintwork, rinse the area with water.'

Its incredibly corrosive, thats why the tanks are plastic and the senders inside or non ferrous. Earlier versions suffered with the senders rotting out. I used to work for a firm where they had an IBC and where the filler had been dripping it had eaten away the concrete base.

I'm really not convinced about adblue, I wouldn't entertain buying a vehicle with it. Spraying such a noxious chemical into the air seems crazy to me, and it does cause engine issues, try googling adblue problems for your make.
