    Capacitor juice. Dangerous or not?

    Found just that my Teac amp from early eighties had leaked its capacitor juices. Just cleaned up the mess, but started to wonder if that juice is dangerous? Is it like water mixed with glycol (antifreeze) and something (dangerous) added? The amp was on a shelf unused for about a year.
