After seeing that picture, I suspect the culprit is the dielectric inside the capacitor, as there is so much surface area tucked into that cylinder and, with age, I am sure the dielectric is more leaky than it was originally - though I am sure it's always been leaky. Still, 8 days and it only lost about half its stored charge... not bad!
