Voltage regulator testing

After searching the boards for this topic, I can't find any info on testing a voltage regulator.

I had been noticing my new battery having a little acid coming out from the first cell, and driving yesterday for the first time I realized my gauge was nearly pegged on C at cruise. It jumps around the middle at idle.

Does this sound like the regulator is not doing it's job? How do I test it?

Thanks!
