When I replaced my very worn mounts recently, I was surprised when the one on the drivers side started to bleed oil as I cranked on the VERY tight nut to remove it.

For the thump - you should also check the transaxle mount to body interface.

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Hi, Thanks for all your help in advance.
I recently purchased a '99 Cab and am going through the list of fixes/changes.
I noticed a single 'thump' sometimes when accelerating and decided to check the engine mounts... seems to me they need replacing (photos enclosed.) - Am I correct?
While there I saw some oil seepage (photo of location "red" after cleaning) and was wondering your thoughts around possible causes.
I included a video with the location of the "seepage" and surrounding area for review, I see some oil further back in the video...makes me wonder.
Your thoughts and opinions are welcome.
Thanks again
Red area is where oil was settled...
Spray the area with some brake cleaner and monitor it. For a 21 year old car it does not seem to be a major oil leak. Your motor mounts are completely shot. Change them out now.
For the thump - you should also check the transaxle mount to body interface. The transmission mount rubber bushing could need replacement or thru bolts (item 4/6) could be loose, or the 6 nuts (item 6a) that hold the transaxle front carrier to the unibody could be loose.
The mounts have a fluid in them also. I followed it from my sump up to the mount. After replacing them I could hear fluid inside one if I shook it, but not the other. The fluid was red and had a very strong odor, didn’t smell like oil.
Exactly this. When I replaced my very worn mounts recently, I was surprised when the one on the drivers side started to bleed oil as I cranked on the VERY tight nut to remove it. It turns out there�s oil in there, and when worn out, they can leak!
It�s a pretty easy job to swap the mounts, and not very expensive. Especially with Rein mounts.
Get those mounts replaced ASAP! There are quite few options from $100-400 ! It takes only about 1hr or so.
Otherwise!
