Leaking Engine Mount?
Discussion
Hi All,
The t'other half has a mini one convertible which appears to be leaking an oil like substance from the drivers side engine mount (left as you look at the engine)
I have fixed many a car but never seen a fluid filled mount?!
What is the deal here, urgent replacement or don't worry about it? - How easy is it to replace myself and finally how much!?
Thanks in advance
Chris

That is how they fail, they split and the oil inside leaks out. There are bushes and items out there to obtain extra life. Expect them to fail every 20k miles or less if you drive it hard, cost is £90 for the part I think.
If the oil leaks get it off immediately or it will just bond on there
