Hi all,
A Fair Radio 0.01 uF -at- 100 kV capacitor cracked open and poured out a big 
pool of oil.
I had the 0.01 in parallel with the 0.023 MMC connected across the 15/150 NST 
bank.
The run was not longer than 30 sec with several minutes between runs. 

Does anyone know if the oil is a PCB? There is no characteristic odor of 
phenol,
the oil is more like old crankcase oil, very dirty and sooty.

Cheers,
Ralph Zekelman
