Engine mount leak / replacement with RS?
Hi Everyone,
I just jacked my 993 up by the engine case, which I have always done. Oil leaked out of the bottom of the engine right away. I was a bit shocked, as I had pulled in from a 300 mile drive previously and this is how I parked it. Some investigation into the fluid made me suspicious of it not being engine oil, mainly the smell and it was very dirty. It also leaked very high next to the oil tank, so I was able to trace it to the RH engine mount. Crazy how much fluid came out, I'd say half a quart. I also see that the exhaust tip almost touches the bumper, so it all makes sense.
Unless you tell me otherwise, I think this is the engine mount and I should replace them. I am always interested in upgrading (the car has RS bits already), so looking at RS engine mounts. Which ones do you recommend?
Thanks,
George
