Looks like it's already been siliconed to me. The monitor has some issues that may (or may not) be flyback related, but I'm wondering whether it might be worth it for preventative maintenance.

That is not silicon, and it is getting ready to fail. Replace it.
Whoa there Dok, I have to respectfully disagree with you there. Normally, something looking like that is cause for alarm. But not on a Sanyo. All EZ flybacks have that brown or red, dried glue looking crap there - perfectly normal. I have 5 perfect working ones right here just like it.
It's not leakage, it's some factory sealant. And it doesn't matter if it's cracked and broken up, sparks aren't gonna fly out of it. Probably wasn't "needed" in the first place, just helps keep out moisture and dust.
