Ross, You can often see it if you look at the top of the caps. If the tops are bulging (should be flat on top) or if you see juice coming from it, they are defective. I hade to resolder my Abit BX133 board last month due to defective capacitors (it stopped working suddenly). It can sometimes be hard to source the right spec. caps, but if you can get the right ones and have some knowledge in soldering, you should be able to fix it quite easily yourself (unless there are a lot of defective ones).
