BigTony Posted October 8, 2008 Author Posted October 8, 2008 after a bit of googling, i think it might be the engine mount (drivers side).and its leaking. am i barking up the right tree.any help would be great Quote
paul.h Posted October 9, 2008 Posted October 9, 2008 It sounds as though it is the engine mounting which supports the driver's side of the engine on to the inner wheel arch. If the liquid is only coming out of a hole in the rubber part then it is possible the mounting is an oil filled type. If so then it looks as if it needs replacing. Also check it is not anti freeze leaking from the expansion bottle which is near this mounting. Quote
