There are a lot of capacitors inside the original Xbox, but which ones should I remove? One of them are leaking so that one for sure. Should I remove more than just the one?

A picture says a thousand words....

If the leaking has caused damage you will have to clean and check all the traces around that area.
Check with tutorials.if the leaking cap is the clock/date cap then it's probably the only faulty one and the only one you would need to replace.

In general replace all the caps that are visibly not ok and you should be good to go.
Usually people replace all the caps at once because caps are the number one reason for problems.
