You have a very common, inexpensive run capacitor. Go to Grainger.com and type in 2MDV6 and you should be viewing the capacitor your talking about. Instead of messing around with the leaking capacitor just buy a new one and replace it.

I agree, best answer.
Oh, I’ll replace it, but I’d like to find something better. I suspect the original was miniaturized a bit too much.
OTOH, 2MDV6 appears to be a bit too big (dimensions). I will recheck.
Agreed...to my knowledge the large cap is only used to ramp up voltage/current to start the motor. It’s better to replace it then fret over the capacitance reading!
