If it was my board, I'd replace them!  From what I've heard, capacitors like you described are about to pop any time, and that electrolyte on the board can be as bad as a leaking battery...  For a while a year or two ago, there were lots of reports of all kinds of PC motherboards with this problem, due to someone stealing the formula for the stuff inside but getting it wrong :)
