Oh dear!
Hydrochloric acid always leak out of the bottle and make most of the metals oxidize and dissolve. I store HCl outside under the deck. It is why I
found conc. sulphuric acid safer for the material and I use it only when obligated.
Very nasty stuff for everything that is not glass or ''plastic''.

Eliteforum, where do you buy your reagents from? I have had solvents and acids from a wide variety of sellers on eBay for years and every single
bottle has been perfect (IDK, maybe I'm just lucky? ). Anyway, my hydrochloric
acid was sold in a plastic container with a red cap and some sort of clear plastic lining. Never had so much as a whiff of gas escape from it.
Two things;
1. That's a nice storage cabinet, where did you get it from?
2. Why do you have gravy granules in your lab storage area?
