Hi guys
I'm trying to repair an electric device and I *think* the issue is capacitor leaking. However, I'm not sure if they pain goo over the capacitors for some reason or if it is in fact leaking. Can someone please have a look at the two pictures and let me know if I should replace the caps?
The first picture has the little cap between the white interface ports. The second picture clearly has some goo between the caps.
As a side note, do I just order the same voltage and uF rating (and maybe max temp?) or are all caps not created equal.
For a bonus point Is there a way to test a cap without an osciloscope
Thanks
