The passenger side motor mount on the '05 and '06 MCS is notorious for leaking - you'll see a gummy black spot under the mount if it is leaking. You may even have a bonus black spot on your garage floor.
just checked around undwer the hood. the passanger side mount that the motor sits on top of looks damaged. i would like to swap thatas well as the bushings in the mount under the motor. the noise pretty much only happens when coasting down a hill, looks like the motor is contacting the frame up front. outmotoring sells a powerflex motor mount bushiung kit, which mounts will this kit replace and whichones will be left alone?
