Please excuse (another) novice question.

My battery appears to be overcharging. The +ve terminal becomes corroded very quickly and yesterday battery fluid appeared on the casing. With the engine running, the ammeter shows 12 amps.

I'm assuming the voltage regulator is faulty. I can't see any adjustments on it, is this something easily fixable?

Any hints on what to look for, or replacing the unit if necessary, would be appreciated. (The car is an AG tourer but most of the mechanicals are 1935 Ruby (I'm told)).
