I have a leaking motor mount on the passenger side for a few years now. The fluid has dried of course after all this time. What I don't understand is that I don't feel anything that indicates I have a bad mount other than the visual. It always has driven the same whether I really get on it or not.
My other cars, you tell you have a bad mount because of the noise.
I have the replacement mount but have not installed it because if you didn't see the fluid leak you would never know that the mount is bad.
What would you do?

 

Replace it....
You will feel the difference in shifting.....kinda subtle... But there... Sound change too when you use lots of gas...
Went 3 weeks with mine leaking...hated it.
Bet your lower mount is likely trashed from waiting so long....
And consider yourself lucky waiting so long has not caused a clutch issue...a few pro mechanic/vendors have said it CAN cause issues....
Be sure to order a new bolt...the old one corrodes when the mount leaks.

 

Its a fairly easy swap, did it in a couple hours this weekend.

 

You have to get access from beneath correct?
Can you give me details?
Thanks

 

There is a DIY on pelicanparts. I just replaced all through mounts (driver/passenger side and lower mounts) and it didn't take that long. Just need a jack and a board to hold up the engine from underneath. Pretty simple.

 

Thanks
