Is it the voltage-regulation capacitors up around the CPU? Some Pentium 4-era boards were made with a bad batch of Nichicon HM/HN series caps that were overfilled with electrolyte. If that's the case (they'll be burst open) the board's probably not worth saving unless you're a bit handy with a soldering iron.

See the cylinders that look like a can of Great Stuff shot with a pellet gun? Do you see anything like that on your board?
