Is it a Broken Engine Mount? (picture included)

Hello fellows,

Today when I opened the hood, I noticed some brownish color mark under and around the Engine Mount. Please look at the picture...
After I did some search on the forum and found that many 05 owners are having the same problem too, and the dealer should fix and clean it under warranty right?

Fix: yes...clean: most likely not to your satisfaction, according to various posts on the boards. I caught mine just in time and managed to soak up all of the oil before it could migrate to parts unknown.
