I've never heard of that (transformers leaking anything other than oil) in 40+ years of electronics experimenting. However, I sincerely hope that "transformer goop" isn't leaking from the power transformer. I'm surprised the set works at all if the power tranny is what's leaking. These transformers can be difficult if not impossible to find for antique TVs if they are defective, unless you can cabbage one from a junker.

As to why the "goop" won't come off the chassis easily, I don't know. There must be something in the stuff that bonds it very well to metal, on contact. I can understand why you want to get the goop off the cabinet, as I'm sure it does wreck the appearance of the latter, even if it is only woodgrain vinyl over a metal cabinet.
