wtf??

as the tiltle says. how could this area of my engine be leaking oil? im baffled as the part its coming from doest even move
its coming from the part with the bolt head on top in the middle if that makes sense


any ideas? im really lost on this one

 

engine mount, baffled me for a while too. engine rock much? they have stuff inside them so when they die/split they ooze

 

leaky hydraulic mount...its a gearbox mount

 

thanks very much for the swift feedback guys. appreciate it i never new engine mount had oily stuff in them. are the hard to replace??
also when i first start driving my car from cold. as im taking the revs between just under 3k and 3k there is like a wierd wistle noise. the same kinda whistle youd give a tidy girl. im thinking it might be something to do with the crappy ecotek valve but the whistling stops after about half a mile. wierd or what.
could this be related to the dodgy mount in anyway you reckon ??

 

not likely. mr bladder is correct though, when you get the new part, it is called a gbox mount.

only thing thats hard about replacing them is the bolts can be uber tight.

need to put a jack under where the block meets the bell house, loosen the other mounts a bit, allow the jack to support the engine's weight and start disassembling.

 

The whistle may be a party whistle, that a squirrel has put in your air box

But i have heard that the early mounts are better due to them being all rubber. Dont know this for a fact tho.

 

sounds like an ok job to me. cheers. have you ever heard of that whistling problem before.

 

yeah ill check the airbox space monkey

 

my turbo whilstes. maybe your turbo whistles too? got boost?

 

unfortunatly shes only a standard 1.8gl 90bhp. but itll do lol

 

turbo then... thatll be the whistle

 

here she is minus the breather as i realised it was a waste of time and all it done was make my car stink of oil
also no turbo in sight mate lol
