Default AR88s and PCBs

I noticed some concern as to the possibility (let's not put it any stronger
than that) of PCB's (polychlorinated biphenyls) being used in the oil filled
capacitors of RCA AR88's. I have 2 such sets, one of which is weeping like
a baby. I intend to replace the old capacitors with modern equivalents
inside the old cans. Is it really likely to be PCB fluid? If so, how to
safely drain, dispose and clean up the dripped fluid without wiping out much
of Western Europe (or at least myself).
