Check out a product called "Home Defense" at Home Depot. I use this around my house a lot and it works great on the spiders. If you spray the spider directly it will fall out of the web and freeze up. I believe this stuff attacks the nervous system and causes bugs to simply spaz out.. And, that's the technical description. hehe Anyway, make sure you don't breathe the stuff because it can make you a bit light-headed. And, I would avoid getting it on the Z paint. Household paint is ok....

I have a few pictures of the b-quiet stuff on my car.... Check it out at the following link: http://www.classiczcars.com/photopost/showgallery.php?cat=3067

Agreed... that is a fairly inexpensive part. It should NOT be leaking. The leaking could be causing some spark to escape out through the sides. I'd definitely replace it with something better.
