does anyone know what a leaked chip looks like?, 2 chips (black) on my graphics card looks as if they are covered by shiny liquid (on half of the surface). Could this be that the chip leaked or sumthing liek that? n what could probably cause it?

Usually the phrase "leaked chip" refers to a chip that was made available before it was slated to.

In this case it sounds as though it was just VERY finely lapped and polished. Some of the chips in the large PS2's are like this also.
