You like to live life on the edge, huh? I personally won't give an old cap a chance if it gets slightly warm, that just means it's past its prime and likely won't smooth out the voltage well at all. It will act like it has reduced capacity, so ripple will be higher as will leakage. Why not just put new ones in? It seems such a small price to pay for transformer protection.
