Capacitors are probably the most common parts to fail in an induction motor. It would be a good idea to check the resistance of the motor windings anyway. I would expect them to be somewhere in the range of five to fifty ohms. You'll want to clean up all of the stuff that that capacitor barfed out too.

Hmm. I wasn't paying attention. The OP said, "run capacitor," and I didn't question it. It is indeed likely that this is a start capacitor, and thus, the motor has a centrifugal start winding cutout switch, a likely point of failure that needs to be checked. Good call Stephen.
