I was under the impression that resistors go long before most caps do, and leaking capacitors are a product of the old paper and oil ones that sound great but have limited life.

Most other caps don't leak as I understand it, they just stop working properly, with the so-called noisy cap syndrome followed by complete failure.

That could be glue as dad911 questioned, I suggest getting the opinion from a wider audience at a forum I used to post at.

That said I had new caps put in my old Dynaco solid state amp and it sounded better than before. My experience is bad caps degrade the quality (slightly) then the music stops altogether.
