Call me a Jeremiah if you will, but washing off capacitor goo is not a fix, even temporarily. It's a respite, at best. A fix is capacitor replacement.
I'd be interested to hear from fellow-enlisted about their experiences with MDD power supplies. I've just replaced the dead PSUs in a 1GHz DP and a 1.25GHz with NOS original 400W supplies, transferring the fans from the 360W PSUs in the process. In my wide-ranging sample of two, the main 390µF filter capacitors were bulging at the top in the dead PSUs, and both blew replacement 8A 250V fuses instantly on power-up.

Plus ça change ...?
