How do you tell if a capacitor is leaking?
If you measure any amount of positive current, then either the capacitor is leaky or the tube is gassy. You can also do this with the meter on a low volts range, but then you don’t get the thrill of possibly blowing out the meter.
Is a leaking capacitor bad?
This is considered normal, and depending on usage, quality of original parts, etc., replacement will probably be necessary at some point. Certain hardware is prone to having outright defective capacitors. Defective capacitors tend to go out of tolerance quickly, leak, or sometimes explode.

Can a capacitor go bad without bulging?
davenn Moderator. Now I’m assuming you are mainly refering to electrolytic capacitors, yes, they can be bad without any outwardly visible signs. Electro caps will quite happily dry out without bulging. Its generally the ones that are in hi temperature situations that bulge and blow their top.
How do you know if a capacitor is good or bad?
Use the multimeter and read the voltage on the capacitor leads. The voltage should read near 9 volts. The voltage will discharge rapidly to 0V because the capacitor is discharging through the multimeter. If the capacitor will not retain that voltage, it is defective and should be replaced.
How much is a good capacitor?
An AC capacitor costs between $120 to $250. The price depends on the brand, model, and whether it’s single or dual-run. The average cost to replace a capacitor is around $170, though some AC capacitor prices can be up to $400.
