Cant see the pictures but the text is a giveaway; its a perfectly
ordinary 470uf capacitor.  If its leaking goo, its dead, though
thats an unusual failure mode for an electrolytic (which I'm
assuming this is) capacitor; they normally go bang, and very loudly
so.

Go to the maplins site and do a search for 470uf, and it brings back
some relevant pages.  Look at the pictures till you find one that
looks the right shape.

Make sure voltage rating is no lower than 16v, preferably 25v, and
hopefully not over 63v.
