some brouwn yelly thing is comming on it

is it dangerous?

are you talking about the capacitor (the tube thingie?)

yes

Material Relative permittivity (dielectric constant)
================================================== ==========
Vacuum ------------------------- 1.0000
Air ---------------------------- 1.0006
PTFE, FEP ("Teflon") ----------- 2.0
Polypropylene ------------------ 2.20 to 2.28
ABS resin ---------------------- 2.4 to 3.2
Polystyrene -------------------- 2.45 to 4.0
Waxed paper -------------------- 2.5
Transformer oil ---------------- 2.5 to 4
Hard Rubber -------------------- 2.5 to 4.80
Wood (Oak) --------------------- 3.3
Silicones ---------------------- 3.4 to 4.3
Bakelite ----------------------- 3.5 to 6.0
Quartz, fused ------------------ 3.8
Wood (Maple) ------------------- 4.4
Glass -------------------------- 4.9 to 7.5
Castor oil --------------------- 5.0
Wood (Birch) ------------------- 5.2
Mica, muscovite ---------------- 5.0 to 8.7
Glass-bonded mica -------------- 6.3 to 9.3
Porcelain, Steatite ------------ 6.5
Alumina ------------------------ 8.0 to 10.0
Distilled water ---------------- 80.0
Barium-strontium-titanite ------ 7500

The yellow "stuff" is the dielectric materia used inside the capacitor (other than air type).

Look up here: http://www.ibiblio.org/obp/electricC.../DC/DC_13.html

is it supposed to be on the outside? leakage?

Leakage from excessive heat.:)

known problem, abit used to have it a while back.
It used to be posted somewhere on this site.
