Help! What's the white glue coming from Celestion SL600SI


Hi,

Help! Can anyone help me make sense of the white gluey thing coming from Celestion SL600Si? I purchased them used from a seller here, have enjoyed them for 2 years, and noticed this anomaly today. Not sure when it started to happen. It looks like melted glue. See the pictures below:

Hint   @shoubang , it's only the 4 bigger screws not the 3 smaller inner screw that need to be removed. 
And when you screw them back, just a little nip tight or you'll crack the plastic mounting plate if your a gorilla and crank them down.

Any misstep could easily ruin the speaker, I would think.

So long as your not a klutz, it will be fine, and you can reseal with more white silicon if needed.
And it’s only the sealing compound, not any capacitor electrolyte. The white stuff in the video shadorne posted is just white silicon fixing compound to stop things rattling around, and nothing to do with capacitor electrolyte leakage.

Just the sealing compound getting squeezed out, could have been after a very hot day which softened it? If it worries you, undo the tweeter or bass which ever one it's coming from and push it back.
