The substance that you are looking at is ethylene glycol, which is better known as anti-freeze, but it is optically clear. If it leaked on to a circuit board, this is not a good sign. I have not been able to repair a set that has been contaminated with this fluid. If your set still works you can replace the fluid and the set will be fine, do not run the set without this fluid as it will cause the CRT to overheat and may crack.
I usually order my parts from Andrews
Electronics in California, they will have the
OEM components that you will need.
Their site is http://www.andrewselectronics.com/welcome.aspxAnd their phone number is a 24-Hour Order Desk: (800) 274-4666I recommend the phone order so you can talk to the person about type of fluid that you need. I think it is referred to as CRT coolant, and is sold by the bottle.
I hope that this helps
