An electrolytic cap that has excessive leakage current will do this to a circuit even when a good electrolytic is placed across it in parallel. In such cases you must remove the culprit electrolytic from the circuiit. This is why the lazy serviceman's trick of just wiring new electrolytics on the terminals of the original chassis mounted cans doesn't always work so well.
