I'm fixing my IIfx as well. And I only found 2(!!) of those #@*&@#!! 47µf @ 16V leaky can caps; they are on the extreme right side of the board about 6 inches from the rear, the rest are solid state Tantalum Caps. Apple used Tantalum SMD/SMT caps, including those 47µf @ 16V, on the IIfx, but they are black, not yellow. Trag is sending me 2 of those black caps to fix those two leaky caps. You would need to check how many of those leaky can caps are on the board vs. how many SMD/SMT black or yellow caps Apple used on your board.
Wait- I have 2 yellow side-ways mounted cap-looking things - both have a little bit of yellow power near the ends.

One is very big -- are these the caps on the IIFX? Let me find a pict:
