[ARC5] Cleaning Capacitor Oil Leakage

[Peter Gottlieb]

I've use gasoline many times.  I found it especially effective on foam which has 
disintegrated and turned into sticky goo.  I do it outside and use only just 
enough as it's nasty stuff if it catches fire.  When I'm thinking I wear my 
nomex jacket.
