Ben,
Two possible issues:
1) We can't see for sure from the picture, but that yellow cap should have been disconnected if new ones were installed. Also, if only two of the three caps were replaced and one of the originals was kept (which appears to be the case), that one original section within the yellow multi-section cap is highly suspect and should be replaced.
2) Do you have any idea how long ago those 'new' electrolytics were installed? If you don't know the answer to that question with certainty, then you really should replace the 'new' ones as well. If an electrolytic has been sitting, unpowered for 10, or 20 years, or possibly even longer, then they are quite likely bad as well. I don't say this to cause you unneeded work or expense, it is just the reality of electrolytic caps.
Good luck.
Jon
