Caps and STK IC's, Need you help.

Tweakers' Asylum

Tweaks for systems, rooms and Do It Yourself (DIY) help. FAQ.

My neighbor asked me to take a look at his non working Kenwood VR-506 AVR. So the first thing I did was to remove the top cover for a look and see. There are several radial caps mounted flush to the board. These caps have a rubbery semi clear substance at their base. Question to you who are more knowledgeable in such things. Could this substance be a sealant applied at the factory. The caps are not swollen or leaking from the top or sides. Is what I see leakage?
Are STK IC's difficult to replace?

Regards,
Marvin
