I find this statement astonishing!

Do you mean physically leaking as in, fluid escape? If so you are
unbelievably unlucky. This is a phenominally rare occurrence in modern
components.

Do you mean leaking as in, insulation breakdown. If so, you must have
considerable skill and precision equipment to measure this.

It would seem you ave more than enough experience to simply replace the
faulty components at a cost of pennies. Why then, replace the card?
