Is the stuff that leaks out of most capacitors, that wants to eat into the circuit board traces, a strong acid or a strong base?

Re: Capacitor leakage, acid or base?
It's electrolyte that comes out of the bung of the capacitor. It's acidic and can short out components -
I love putting bad caps and flat batteries in fire and watching them explode!!
No wonder it doesn't work! You installed the jumper wires backwards

guys, read this - http://sciencelinks.jp/j-east/articl...03A0552490.php
I really didn't post this question to assemble a collection of guesses, was really looking for someone to step up authoritatively

I'm working on a Surface Book 2 performance base (M1032224-004 on white sticker) and would love for some help troubleshooting or where to look next.
The tablet when not connected to the base seems to work fine, but:- When tablet is off and connected to the base, it won't turn on.
- Connecting tablet that is already on to base there is a windows device detected tone (not sure what device), but tablet remains in tablet mode, keyboard/trackpad don't work, and windows continues to report only 1 battery.
- Charger white light turns on when connected to the base, but base battery and tablet

Hi people, I hope this is the correct spot to post this, I'm new to the forum.
I have an RTX 3080 Founders Edition which has a burnt up capacitor (it was in parallel with another capacitor which appears damaged too), so I am hoping to be able to identify the capacitor values and order replacements.
I hope these photos make it clear which component I am referring to:
(yes, the soldering is a bit botched from removing the blown one, I know)
I have found the board schematic (attached), but there does not seem to be a boardview available. I have never... -
