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:

Hi, Thank you for the suggestions. If the capacitor blew up, the speaker/tweeter should have been ruined and muted, right? It is still playing fine. So, maybe we can rule it out.

How challenging is it to take it apart, push the sealing compound back, and still keep the speaker airtight? Any misstep could easily ruin the speaker, I would think.

What if I don't do anything? 

Best,
Shoubang
