It probably was a Filter Cap venting, probably not too much damage.

Depending on whether this is a Transformer set or a Voltage Doubler Power Supply it could just need new Caps, worst case is a burned transformer but usually takes out the 5U4 first.

If it uses a 5U4 Rectifier tube(s) you could remove it and power it up again briefly, if the heaters light and nothing smokes then the transformer is probably OK.
