Yep, the first thing that comes to mind would be to store them upside down.

Second thought would be take the MoBos out and place them upside down on an absorbant material inside a zip-lock bags for any mothballed mac.

Same thing x2 for Analog Boards.

Just storing Macs 0r PBs upside down and Compacts on their sides ought to help and probably can't hurt. What's the viscosity of the leakage? Will it well up and harden on the top of the cap stalactitically or drip? Anything has to be better than having goo spreading to additional traces.

Apparently I've been storing a couple of dozen various types of bare MoBos in the wrong orientation. :-/

Spreading goo on the silver sides of caps ought to be easier to spot than same on the MoBo when inspecting for re-installation or a pre-power-up inspection of a mac stored inverted.
