Motormount again!!

I have a 05 MC and it has had no fewer than two motor mounts replaced. This weekend I noticed a small leak under the car. After checking the color and doing a quick taste test it appeared to be coolant. After checking the level it was okay. I jacked up the car and saw an oily substance on the lower motor mount. It looks like I will be replacing the third motor mount in two years . Has anyone beefed up their motor mounts with IE bushings?? I already have a TSW damper and I assume the mount was already experiencing fatigue before I put the engine damper on. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

I've been contemplating the urethane IE motor mount bushings also. Probably don't need the engine damper with those.
