Just swapped all of mine. I went used and got very low mile ones from a very reputable member, except the driver rear. I got the driver rear used from a crappy member who screwed me and it had a tiny crack. I used a bunch of high strength rubber cement to fill it and am kinda thinking it won't last. The old one was totally toast, so I guess it can't get worse, but the whole swap is kinda a PITA, dropping the rear sway kinda sucks.

I just don't see how rubber cement will last on a fluid-filled mount. New OEM ones cost $75 each, no? Time is money, why cheap out when you can do it right the first time?

It didn't, 3 days of driving and it is toast

Mine also have leaked ~2K miles ago on my AP1, I have got now a small vibration near 40 miles/hour.

Do I need to rush to change it ? Or I can wait a bit ? This can lead to which kind of issue ?

I was jacking the rear up this morning to see if I could locate the clunking sound when shifting from reverse to forward when fluid started leaking from the passenger side diff collar. I didn't know if was the diff collar till I found these threads. There is a crack on the aft end. I plan to replace both since the driver side is the one that usually goes. Is it Ok to drive to I get the parts in? Where is the best place to order from?

Yes driving till you get them replaced is fine. Majestic Honda seems to have the best prices.

Mine just recently leaked in the same place too, the driver rear. I was going to go innovative but decided to get OEM.
I found a video of how much OEM flexes. [media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gMJJPqdCC2c[/media]
