18mfd 5.5 volt electrolytic, where to find.

I have a Luxman DZ-112 CD player that has a few leaking caps. One is a 18mfd 5.5v cap. I can't find one anywhere. Anyone have a good source?

That js likely an 18,000uF cap, from the size. A 6.3V or higher is fine if the lead spacing is right.

That's a memory backup capacitor, a bit different than the usual type found in audio equipment.
I'm sure you can find a suitable replacement by searching for that type.
I am not sure if it's any more than 18uf.

This might be overkill

This puppy might be a bit overcapacitised at .22F - but it <is> a memory backup cap, and will probably keep the player's setup info nice and fresh until the inevitable red-shift event fries everything.

.22UF/5.5V Almost A Super Cap

In that picture, what I see is glue, not leakage....?

Pictures of the other "leaking" caps please

Agree it´s glue. Don´t "fix" what is not broken.
What are you doing inside the CD player?

And it is indeed 18mf=18000uF
Nearby caps have the proper "mu" letter as needed so it´s not as if capacitor makers are short of fonts
