Oil leaking from motor mount - easy to replace?

2002 MCS/build date 05/02.

I noticed oil leaking from the passenger side motor mount (see pic). Is this easy to replace for a do it your selfer and if so does someone have the procedure?

Thanks in advance.

If I can do it, you can do it...

Had to replace similar motor mount on my 2005. I am NOT a mechanic but got it done. I'll see if I can track down the threads/links I used. A search on "motor mount" in this forum should turn up useful threads for you.

The one common caution you'll see is getting the jack under the motor squarely placed so the engine doesn't drop too much when you slide out the mount.

Good luck! Have fun!
