I can hardly believe what I saw when I took out the A6-board. A capacitor with only one leg... what the heck is so special about this one that its so different to all the others - and leaking, too!

The wet Ta caps that I'm familiar with, and like to use, have a glass seal around the pos. lead. This one appears to have a rubber seal, but the odd thing is that the leak appears to have been at the neg, case, end. How does this happen? Is this a typical failure mode?
Are we SURE this is actually a Ta cap? I'd like to see a better photo of the writing on the case.
I've never seen one of the glass sealed Ta caps leak. Does it happen occasionally?
