So i just put the 034 MotorSports trans mount in and noticed some oil on the ground. I can only see it dripping from the back part of the LCA... Looking in the engine bay I can't get a look at anything substantial.. Any thoughts or ideas, I only have 2K miles left on my warranty, maybe engine mounts? I dunno.

Probably engine mount - they are fluid filled and fail on the earlier cars and there is an updated part - see if you can get a look at the engine mount, they split the rubber and drip.

Bingo its deff an engine mount. I would get it in ASAP before your out of warranty.

Welllllllll lol. If you are worried about them and can get to them poke a hole in them and make them leak. Then they will replace them. But you didn't hear that from me lol shhhhhhhhh

Funny how you posted this on the day that 034 announces their new Density engine mounts. I'm looking forwards to reading your review [wrench][:D]

yea i did that with my wife's Mazda 3 that had the same issue with the one motor mount that was oil filled before she went out of warranty on that back in the day.
I wonder if you get them to warranty the mounts and get them to install the 034 mounts for just the cost of the mounts. and give you the warranty factory mounts new in exchange since their is no difference in labor to install those.
