I havent been able to get my Talon started. After replacing the coil and alot of swearing, i decided to check out the Ecu caps. Sure enough one was leaking :barf:. I was wonding if i can still swap the caps and be ok? Or is that too bad of a leak? My cam sucks so i highlighted in blue where the leak is (on the right side).

Doesn't look like it burnt through anything from what I can see. Clean up the board and follow the instructions in vfaq on pulling the caps and see what kind of shape things are in under the caps.
 
Just use some rubbing alcohol and the electrolytic fluid from the cap shouldn’t hurt anything. ;)
