The part that you are referring to is a resistor. I doubt that it is leaking. What you are seeing is more likely residue from the original one that burned up. That board also shows that two transistors have been changed. The original blue resistors are metal film types that are rated at 1%. They were chosen for their low noise characteristics. The one that is in there is a standard carbon comp resistor.

The tooth lock washers are there to keep the mounting nuts from coming loose and to insure that the board is grounded to the chassis. You do not want the board insulated from the chassis metal.

There is some stupid repair or mod done to the power amp board that shows the quality of the earlier work done on the amp. There are two resistors and a blue cap that are floating off of the board. If the power amp is working and you are happy with the sound, leave it alone and just fix the preamp.

Now that we've seen the amp, tell us which channel is dead, the straignt or the fx channel?
