This is my first time doing a cap kit. I got a little worried when I saw this capacitor, thinking it leaked. I've noticed this stuff in several areas of the board. I read that sometimes a brown glue was used. Can anyone confirm if this is glue?
yup glue for sure and it can be white is also common especially on the wells gardner chassis and only used on the larger caps to keep them straight while going through the wave soldering tables.
