OEM Electrolytics drifting high???

Could this be not a real capacitance increase, but some weird effect of leakage (?) fooling the meter?

That is what I've always suspected... What is actually being measured in these meters, when on the "C" scale? RC time constant?, current transmitted at a given frequency?, phase angle at a given frequency?
