Hello All,
Spent a couple of hours under the car night before last cleaning up as much oil as possible. Came across a number of 'interesting' things, one of which being some displaced rubber on the right-side (looking forwrd) engine mount. I think I know the answer already, but does this warrant buying a new mount? Also, is this a DIY job or are special tools needed?
This picture is looking back along the oil pan at the mount.
This picture is looking up from the floor.

Yes, that's as dead as they get! I have not done this job myself so hopefully someone will be along that has.
I have done it several times....and yes...you need to replace your motor mounts. If one is that bad, then do both. Undo the bottom of the engine mounts from underneath, then replace it back only finger tight. Place a 2 x 4 piece of wood that extends all the way across the oil pan and jack from there, or place the jack under the front crank with a piece of wood between the metal and jack.Undo the top of the engine mounts, and carefully jack up the motor until the bolt in the engine mounts clear. Go back and take the bolts back off from the bottom, and you can work the mounts out. I have at times just done one side at at time, and at other times done both. Just watch all the hoses and lines as to not overstress them. Good Luck.
