Resurrecting a IIfx in a II case

I bought this IIfx from someone on this forum I believe many years ago,  I recently dug it out of storage and decided get it doing useful stuff again. When I used to use it, some I'd power it on and smell something along the lines of slightly burnt fish, a restart would make it go away, lots of reading and experience later, it seems that may be capacitors failing in the PSU (It's using the original II's power supply). Beyond that, ive discovered the "High Resolution Display Video Card" is pretty crusty from leaking caps, to the point where one of the components seems to have burnt, can someone who owns this card tell me what C51's value on the video card should be?(it's a tiny SMD capacitor on my board)
