Steve,
The board would probably work with the cap out or a
smaller value.
I'm sorry if not clear before, any electrolytic capacitor is
going to have leakage. Tantalum too, just less. But a
paper/film cap should have negligible leakage. Such
caps are common up to 0.1 ufd, I'd try something like
that to see if the problem is cured. If the 0.1 causes
a shift in voltage, its an indication there is some
AC voltage present which takes a scope to read.
Values up to .47 ufd or 1 ufd are less common but
available. Putting several of these in parallel to get 1
or 2 ufd should be adequate for the job.
I never saw a non polarized electrolytic that small, are
you sure?
