...the globby white stuff is normal hot glue on the analog board I believe? From what I've seen caps leak a clear liquid that's difficult to even see sometimes. I think the capacitors that are leaking are probably on the logic board and not the analog board.
----Uuups, my fault again, sorry :I :I :I :I

As you see, I am not proficient with inside-Classic stuff....

Some other people told me just the same....these white leaking thing is **not** leaking from capacitors, but glue to prevent them moving on the board...

I did not see any capacitors in the Macintosh Classic logic board, but chips only, as well as a 50 pin SCSI conector, floppy connector, 44 pin memory expansion card connector, ROM, RAM chips and no more.

Where are the logic board capacitors? Is the logic board that green one on the bottom of the Mac? There is no capacitors there, as far as I recall.

As for the white glue from the capacitors on the analog board, I have *not* seen any other capacitor with *any other* kind of leaking.

So, if that from my picture is *not* capacitor leaking, then *NO* capacitor is leaking in any of the boards: logic--> there is no capacitor there; analog---> white glue is the only thing I see..... So now, what?
