Lots of not very expensive multimeters now have capacitance ranges and
they will quickly show you if the capacitor is dead or not. A quick
resistance check as well will show whether it's leaky.


Leakiness may be very voltage dependent.

May be. But I've not come across a capacitor that is leaky which
doesn't show some measurable resistance using a reasonably good
multimeter, it'll be higher than it shows with a large voltage but it
will still be leaky.
