I am surprised at that, would anyone else agree that 16mA DC leakage is unreasonable for a new electrolytic capacitor.
Have you checked the DC voltage across the C83 blocking capacitor with the speaker connected and no signal going through the amp, and confirmed the meter polarity corresponds to the capacitor polarity.
Not wishing to sound too condescending but it is normal for the negative wire of a electrolytic to be the one that is identified.
