Default Corrosion!!

Hey guys, I keep getting really bad corrosion and build up on my positive battery terminal. I replaced it last week and its already turned completely black and started to build up with white corrosion. I am stumped on how its doing it. All the wiring and connections look good. The battery is good also and is not leaking. Could i have a bad ground or something?? Any input on this problem would be much appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Buy some brass battery cable clamps at a marine and boat place.

Clean it up good with a wire brush, and smear axle grease on the base of the terminal. Make sure to get all around the junction of the terminal and the battery casing. This prevents the battery from oozing out and causing the crusty buildup.
