jelly deposit on suppressor back of mains cable

Ob Bosch slimline Classixx dishwasher have traced a short circuit between live and earth to the respective terminals at the back of the white push-in plastic power assembly at bottom rear of the appliance. There is a deposit of conductive (1000 ohm between the terminals) pinkish jelly between those two terminals, also below it on floor of appliance, but not above it or anywhere else as far as I can see! Could this be electrolyte leakage from capacitor? ie if I replace the cable supply unit would that fix it or could it be food leakage from somewhere else nearby?

    It is possible this could be capacitor electrolyte that has leaked but this would usually show on the capacitor. check the one on the motor if fitted as this may be more likely to have caused the deposit.
