is the driver side engine mount oil filled?
DRIVER SIDE DRIVER SIDE DRIVER SIDE I had to remove this to repair the frame rail on our R52 and noticed what feels like old brake fluid type liquid seeping out of the rubber part while it lies on the ground. The fluid is dark in color. looks and smells like brake fluid. is this liquid filled? These things are near $200. would hate to have to replace it.
This is the mount:

Yep, did it on mine, i cleaned it up as much as i could and used touch up paint down the road to hide the stain. Also touched up my engine bay a little. They dont use clear coat on the engine bay, its just paint side. https://www.ecstuning.com/Mini-2005-...arch/touch_up/

My bad.....Driver side in the USA I should have said. Sorry about the confusion. The mount you show everyone knows about and I changed it 6 months ago. Its the other side I'm asking about, the one from which the transmission is suspended.

The transmission mount? Oh wait. I was thinking of my wife, the back seat driver.😜
Just joking. But I did think it was funny about which side is the drivers side in a forum like this.
