Subwoofer capacitors

[Cyber-Mav]

So opened up my old philips woox subwoofer to sort out a dodgey audio socket connector and managed to fix that but also noticed some gunk on top of one capacitor. Im guessing its leaked out the good stuff so may give issues in long term.

Was wondering if i should replace the one cap or also the one next to it which doesnt seem to have leaked yet.
Also need recommendations for what type of cap to replace it with and brand and where to get from too if someone knows.
Not sure if i need to get onto some specialist electronic repairs forum or if info from here will be enough.

Are the leaking caps part of the power stage or sound stage?

This is only other pic i took while i was in there

Also looking at caps price of 100v seem cheaper than 63v im guessing its ok to use higher voltage ones?
Is there any leeway with capacitance? Assuming i cant go lower than stock 4700uf but can i go higher?

Cool, looks like a pair of correct size rubycons from ebay will come to £2.50p delivered. Thats decent.

Are these likley to be through hole or snap in type?

Never heard of Cornell-Dubilier, is that cheapo china brand?

Hmm found the caps on alixpress for 50p each thats much cheaper than ebay but longer wait time but delivery is free.

Yep will avoid ali. May check out mouser or rs components. Im sure the ones they supply will be guaranteed genuine

Another option to save money on a capacitor is just buy a new subwoofer

Ahh i didnt think it was glue since the cap next to it doesnt have any on top. And yea i dont seen any bulging of the cap so found it odd that it may have vented and still be flat. Will hold off on replacing it then. Thanks for the input.
