Default Pyramid PIO vitamin Q type capacitor

Hi,

I have a 0.47uF Pyramid PIO vit. Q type caps but with one loosed lead
which connect to the aluminium casing. I have tried to solder the lead
back but what happen is there are some oil flowing out and become wax
once the solder cold down. After testing the cap with a digital
multimeter, the cap give me 1.14 uF instead 0.47uF. What's going on ?
Does the cap spoilt ?

Regards!
