I think that's the solution....I would open it up and replace the caps with 
.01mfd disks and put it back together.  Solves one problem and one potential 
problem.  No more tripping of the GFCI (used to just call them GFI's)  and 
if by chance the caps were leaky they are no more!

Problems solved....
