If there are any surface mount electrolytics, replace those with tantalum or ceramic chip capacitors. They're a little more expensive but they will never leak. For through-hole electrolytics, look for low-ESR types rated at 105C. Nichicon is a reputable brand, as are many others.

But according to your suggestion, these would be better:

I've always been under the assumption the metal cans like these don't leak. *shrug*
