Never knew that about the caps and I have a Classic Ii and 840av I should probably check them.
The IIci is also subject to that problem. In the IIci it manifests as problems in the power-on circuitry, because they are positioned such that the leakage eats through the traces for the power-on circuitry on the motherboard.
I wonder about the long-term effects of the dishwasher fix. It removes the current leakage, which is good, but do the caps continue to leak? If so, they might damage actual traces or solder joints before one realizes that the board needs washing again. I think it's generally better to get the leaky caps off of the board and replace them--with nice tantalum caps that don't leak, if possible.
