I just tested all 15 of these caps and none of the oil caps show any leakage at all on the Sencore LC53. Maybe I'm just lucky? The 47uf 450vdc electrolytic leaks like a sieve.

Did you test them at working Voltages? - Ralph 08:34:38 01/30/25 (2)
It might simply be that we've had really bad luck.

I recently renovated an EV A20-C. It had paper and oil caps throughout; all of them were electrically leaky and one was also leaking oil (Black Beauties).

    Of the caps we've tested, fully half of them exhibited some minor output Voltage where there should have been none.
    
    The exception so far has been the ODAM caps from VH Audio.
