RE: Leaking capacitor?
That looks like an adhesive to hold the cap in place. The cap will leak where the leads exit and this area will usually look a little wet/crusty and will smell like fish when heated.
The electrolyte in the capacitor is acidic. You want to neutralize it with a mild alkaline solution like a strong lye soap/cleanser. |
