You can combine your 1000uF and 1200uF in parallel:
+ _____________
| + | +
== 1200uF == 1000uF
- __|___________|
to get your 2200uF. Wow ... horrible asci drawing!
Just watch your voltage to be sure it is 6.3 volts or higher. The temp might be
critical too if it is in the power supply area. Lots of ripple = heat! And
above all watch the polarity. Usually the minus is what is labelled on the side
of those can style caps.
Curious that it is leaking though. You sure it isn't soem sort of glue or
silicone or wax or something that is holding it down? They might do that during
manufacture so it doesn't tip while getting soldered.
Another possibility if the colour of the cap is red, is that it is a special
low resistance type such that ripple causes less heat.
Hope all this helps some.
Robert.
