Just noticed this weekend that one of my differential mounts has apparently sprung a leak. Saw about three spots of oil the size of a penny where I park it.

I'm going to replace the mount (probably both; I imagine the other one might be ready to go too and while I'm in there....) but is there any major hurry or danger to me or the car in waiting? I probably won't get to it in the next couple of weeks. Car is daily driven, but mainly just in traffic and on surface streets; no track time or long trips are planned for the near futured.


And has anyone had the dealer do this? I saw parts are about $65/mount, what's the labor on the project? I don't mind doing it myself, but if it's real simple with a lift (which I don't have) there's no sense in putting it off if the dealer can do it for $50 more than I can.

 

I wouldn't have a problem driving my own car gently with a leaking mount until I could get a new set of mounts shipped to me.

If you don't think you can handle the replacement yourself, post up in your regional s2ki forum and ask for a shop recommendation. Most dealers will rape you.
