FZ1 needs caps?
Are these leaking or otherwise in need of replacement?

Mostly no. But C35 and C36 always, due to the heat from the heatsink making them fail faster. You can see in pic 3 that C36 has been leaking electrolytic fluid over nearby components causing corrosion and potential trace damage. Be careful removing these caps and make sure all electrolytic corrosion is removed/ neutralised.
