Ok, Update and another question.

I removed all the leaking caps plus the others of the same type
and size that had not shown signs of leakage just to be thorough.


** FFS stop using the term "leakage" wrongly.

In electronics, "leakage" refers to current passing through an imperfect insulator.

What you have is caps *leaking electrolyte*.





And then it hit me.

This is a double sided board. I am concerned that the component
side of the board that is under the capacitor will not be soldered
properly to the leads.


** That makes no sense.

You can see the component side and solder to it.

The reverse side may be a problem to get at, but nearly all PCBs have plated through holes that you can solder from EITHER side.
