If you suspect the cap may be bad and you don't have the equipment to test
it for ESR, DA, and leakage, or if there is any evidence of electrolyte
leakage, change it. 100uF caps are pretty cheap and easy to find.

The capacitance is well within tolerance, but there are other
characteristics that could be off.

Hi folks- If an electrolytic measures slightly over it's rated value
with a trusted meter, would you consider this cap bad thus replace it
? For example, if a 100uf measures 107uf, does that mean the cap is
drying out and must be replaced ? Thanks
